The C64 screenshot at the back of the package shows the black outlines of the cockpit of your plane. This black outline is missing completely on the Atari version. Was it too difficult to do on the A8 ?!? It would have given a much better setting or atmosphere of flying an aeroplane...

Looking at the back of the inlay: what on earth is a 'Royal Marine Spitfire'? Chortle! Supermarine, the company that developed the Spitfire, surely! Outright winners of the Shneider trophy with the aeroplane that was developed to become the Spitfire.

Another awesome addition to Sid Meier's series of "Ace" sim shooters. To be honest, this is more of an arcade game than a proper sim, so it's not in the same league as F-15 or Flight Simulator. But that takes nothing away from the action and excitement. I think this was my second-favorite after Mig Alley Ace.
