It is sluggish, but the scenery can be "adjusted" to allow for less detail,
thereby speeding up response somewhat.  Unfortunately, BoB's performance is not
up to the standard set by Falcon, a flight and combat simulation seemingly
alone in its class.

I've played the game regularly since I bought it two weeks ago.  The scenarios
are detailed and varied; I'm sure that the game will keep my interest for as
long as Falcon, through its two revisions, has--in other words, I think that
BoB will keep my interest for a long time to come.
