Flight Simulator Games Collection |
|||
Reviewed |
|||
The first 4D Game Collection from 4D / APDL and certainly one of the best. |
|||
This collection was released back in July 2005 but it's still great quality for money. |
|||
You get 9 flight simluator games and are all RISC OS 4 and StrongARM compatible for £14.90 |
|||
Here's what ya' get: |
|||
Air Supremacy |
|||
Chopper Force |
|||
Chocks Away |
|||
Mosquito Fire |
|||
Birds of War |
|||
Spitfire Fury |
|||
Interdictor II |
|||
F18 Hornet |
|||
SunBurst |
|||
It wasted a week of my holiday but I did complete SunBurst in that time and I was glued to my |
|||
seat while playing F18Hornet and Birds of War. |
|||
APDL, (the distributor) have great offers on their 4Th Dimension range of collections on their |
|||
stand at shows and on their stand there are offers on their other products too like Wizard's |
|||
Apprentice, Interdictor II, GEK Collection, StarFighter 3000 'Other Worlds' CD, Technodream and |
|||
Nevryon and lots more. |
|||
If your into games like Descent, Descent 2 and StarFighter 3000 then you will enjoy this collection |
|||
but the graphics are not as good as Descent 2 and the games aren't 3D but if you want something |
|||
that'll keep you occupied for the weekend then this is it. |
|||
You also get more than just nine games, all the manuals are all included in html format and Chocks |
|||
Away contains: |
|||
Chocks Away Disc 1 |
|||
Chocks Away Disc 2 |
|||
Chocks Away Extra Missions |
|||
All games will run on most RISC OS (not Arthur) machines but you do need to have a CD-ROM drive to |
|||
install the games on to Hard Drive, so you do need a Hard Drive and a Web Browser or html viewer. |
|||
If you have something like a A310 or A440 which haven't got CD-ROM Drives then if you connect them |
|||
to a network with a CD-ROM drive then you will be able to play the games because you do not need |
|||
the CD after installation. |
|||
All games run perfectly on my A7000+ with RISC OS 3.71 with 2X CD-ROM drive but unfortunately most |
|||
games won't run on an Iyonix or even Aemulor Pro but all games will work on a StrongARM RiscPC, |
|||
Omega, R7500+ or a Virtual RPC machine. |
|||
To run Interdictor II you will need a printer to print the drawfile with all the combinations on to |
|||
get you in to the game. |
|||
The DrawFile is included. |
|||
iSV Products / APDL do sell Interdictor II seperately but as I do not own a copy of that version I |
|||
don't know if there's a printed manual but you would think so. |
|||
I do hope that APDL / 4D release 32-Bit versions of these collections because Iyonix users are |
|||
missing out. |
|||
Of what I have read in magazines and news portals, the A9Home will be able to run many 26-bit |
|||
programs that the Iyonix could not run so then some games from this collection might be able to run |
|||
natively on an A9Home. |
|||
Overall I Rate This Collection 8/10 |
