Microsoft Flight Simulator is a 1986 video game developed bySublogic and published byMicrosoft for theMacintosh.
In 1984Amiga Corporation askedBruce Artwick to portFlight Simulator for its forthcoming computer, but Commodore's purchase of Amiga temporarily ended the relationship. Sublogic instead finished a Macintosh version, released by Microsoft, then resumed work on the Amiga andAtari ST versions.[1]
The game included features such as a windowing system which allowed multiple 3D views simultaneously - this made exterior views possible for the aircraft itself.
Frank Boosman reviewed the game forComputer Gaming World, and stated, "As a game, FS is exciting. Flying beneath theGolden Gate Bridge was a big thrill, and really had me sweating. FS wins as a simulation as well; the flight characteristics of theCessna andLear Jet seem realistic, and theinstrumentation is complete."[2]
