Oh bliss! You mean you actually can sink it? I had allways assumed it was
impossible.I tried many missles, landing on it, ejecting out just before crashing into it with full ordinance etc, etc.

I have found the closest game to FA/18 is WarHead... Same feeling...

Speaking of WarHead, does anyone know the compaction method used for the
graphic data? WarHead is totaly memory resident (512k), Yet manages to squeeze
in 8 or so pictures..

The final sequence of WarHead seems to suggest a sequal, do you know if this
is the case, or were the author(s) just keeping thier options open?
