Classic British Flight Sim

My first computer came way before the 64...It was the Commodore Pet with all of 8 K of RAM and a calculator keyboard...No floppy..You had to use a tape recorder to record or load data.

I graduated to the final model of the PET with a massive 32 K of RAM, full size keyboard and an adjoining Twin Floppy Disk unit...Wow! that was power and it booted more or less instantly as the OS was in ROM. I wrote some very successful software for it and the editor of the monthly magazine "Handgunner" used to keep all his subscribers in it and it printed all his mailing labels

Hmmm...Doesn't quite look right with colour screen...Should be black and white

Just bragging Peter, but - I stuck clear green cellophane over the 'monitor' (a.k.a small T.V.) of my state-of-the-art Sinclair ZX81 with a massive 64K of memory, to give it that professional look.

Did you consider giving it the real colour original Space Invaders arcade look with strips of Yellow, Green and Red cellophane across the screen?

Now that would have been silly but, I do remember way back when the world was young, being able to buy a similar multi-coloured sheet to place in front of the b/w telly to give an air of reality to the picture.
