Now you're bringing me back! I was a HUGE fan of Alien8 and all the other
titles by Ultimate play the game. I was (for a brief time) the Sabre Wulf
champion scorer and was among the first batch to collect all the parts of
the amulet. also came 2nd in a Jetpac competition at the annual microfair.
Still have them all - Cookie, Pssst!, Jetpac, Lunar Jetman, Nightshade,
Gunfight, Cyberrun, Underwurlde, Sabre Wulf, the lot. Knight lore (the
first of the isometric type games) was amazingly advanced when it first
appeared, you can get a 256 colour version to run on SPEC256 (a VGA colour
spectrum emulator for the PC from Spain).
Ahhhh... Nostalgia. Sorry about the off topic-ness.
BTW, the helicopter sim was probably "Combat Lynx" by Durrell, or maybe one
of the ones by Digital Integration. Or maybe "Cyclone" by Vortex?
Cheers,
Darren.
