Attention all your armchair generals! Now's your chance to earn your wings commanding a number of squadrons to repel an enemy air raid. This is a simulation rather than a game and it's very celebral, so you'll need to wear your gold braided thinking cap.

The main game display is a sectored map, which is updated like radar, every few seconds or so. This shows the relative movement of both your and the enemy's aircraft. In addition you can call up a chart of information will tells you the current status of each aircraft on the map.

Also, during battle, critical messages are flashed up to remind you that things are going critical, or you've got a squadron circling, gradually running out of fuel.

This simulation got my adrenalin pumping and I panicked a lot, with the end result that the computer-controlled enemy planes trounced me, even on level one.

The program will definitely appeal to war-game enthusiasts as it is easy to become engrossed in the detailed strategy. If you like a real challenge, try this one.
