   Perhaps I should have been more clear:  The pictures on the back of the
box are VGA pictures, and are considerably nicer than the Amiga is
capable of in 16/32 color mode (which is used by this flight simulator, as
well as all others available for the amiga, it would not be practical
to have a (fast) HAM flight simulator on a 68000 amiga.) 
 
   The specific things in the box pictures I am refering to are the 
"digitized" explosions which look great in 256 colors, but the 3 colors
versions they use for the amiga version could hardly be classified as digitized.
