Reviews
- The game offers a nostalgic experience for those who enjoyed it in their youth, capturing the essence of classic flight simulators.
- Despite its age, the game features a dynamic campaign with varying missions and the ability to compete with other pilots for renown.
- For dedicated fans of flight simulators, it can still provide a fun way to reminisce about the past and experience the history of WW1 aviation.
- The graphics and sound are severely outdated, making the game feel clunky and unpolished compared to modern standards.
- The copy protection system is cumbersome, requiring players to reference a manual for squadron insignias each time they start the game.
- The PC version lacks the quality and performance of the original Amiga version, leading to disappointment for long-time fans.

“The graphics are very dated, like 30 years ago, but I just wanted to see how it worked.”
“This is such a terrible version of this game; the graphics and sound are both off.”
“While the game was brilliant in its time and still fun to play if you look past the outdated graphics, you might want to wait for a Steam sale to buy this at a more reasonable price or maybe dig up your old floppies and manual of this game from the attic instead.”
