Q. I'm hunting for a flight simulator for my 16K Vic 20. I would like to know if you could recommend a good one or similar simulations and/or strategy games.

A. We only know of one flight simulator for the Vic. This is Flight Zero-One-Five, from AVS, price £6.95. If you have a look around the shops you should be able to nail down a copy. It's for the unexpanded Vic 20, so probably isn't as complex as you'd like, but it does do quite a lot considering the memory it uses.

As regards other simulations the same memory considerations apply. One way around this is to look for cartridge games and one of the best simulators is Thorn-EMI's Submarine Commander.

You are better placed for strategy games. Commodore's own Sargon Chess cartridge plays a good game and is a bargain at around £10. Audiogeinc produces an excellent version of Othello on cartridge called Renaissance.

If you're prepared to buy mail order from America, get a copy of Compute! magazine and lust after the enormous range of US software.
