 SPITFIRE 40 
 Mirrorsoft 1986

 CONTROLS : Keyboard, Kempston, Cursor
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 AIM : As a Spitfire pilot taking to the air for the first time in the
 hot, deadly summer of 1940, this game follows your career in the air...

 GAMEPLAY : On loading the game you'll have to choose one of the pre-set
 pilots or load in a saved game. Having done this, choose between
 Practice, Combat and Combat Practice modes. Practice is fairly
 self-explanatory; it simply allows you to get a feel for the Spitfire
 without any German harassment.

  The two combat modes pit you against enemy fighters. Combat Practice
 puts you in the air directly behind a German fighter, giving you the
 opportunity to practice and hopefully improve your dogfighting
 technique. (A tip: look in your rear mirror every so often!). In true
 Combat mode, you are placed in an ongoing war situation; you have to
 take off, seek out the enemy (using the map) and engage them. Once
 you've defeated them, you then have to land safely back at your
 airstrip. If you succeed, you can save the game to tape as a Log file
 recording your career to date.

  The game is mostly controlled using two separate screens - one shows
 the instruments and the other the view from the cockpit. A map screen
 can be referred to while you're flying to help you find the current
 position of yourself and the enemy planes. The main overview map
 shows the south-east of England with your plane marked in red and
 enemy fighters in black. If your Spitfire is inside one of the three
 squares drawn on this map, you can examine the ground below you in
 close-up detail by pressing N.

 COMMENTS : "An excellent simulation which should appeal to arcade
 players too".
 RATING : 90% (CRASH #28, March 1986)

 NOW : It's not exactly PACIFIC STRIKE or OVERLORD... but as a very
 simple (by modern standards) flight sim, it's not bad at all.
