Anyone remember Radar Raiders?  That neat jet simulator program by subLOCIC
that only ran under v27 AmigaDOS (or was it 1.0)?

It had a rather acceptable frame rate for the time, and was quite nice to fly. 
Unfortunately, the advence demo copy I have is nowhere near finished, and as
far as I know all development stopped dead soon after.  Too bad, too, as the
software market back then needed all the help it could get.

This was all back in late 1985, or maybe earlier.  Those were the days.
It seems, though, that there was someone at subLOGIC who was impressed with the
Amiga early on.
