Lightning Simulator

In this little number, you take control of the Electric Lightning aircraft and fly it through a number of varying missions. And if that's not good enough for you, you can always make it even more lifelike by bringing in a reality factor like cross winds, system failures, G limit and queuing for three hours at customs!

Compared to games like Empire Strikes Back and Starglider the graphics in this just don't stand up - even if it is a budget title. Technically it could be excellent (we've never flown an Electric Lightning so we can't say), but as a game it's terribly boring. Fly over this one.
