Naahhh. The graphics on Fighter Bomber sux (IMHO of course). They are too "blocky" ond the refresh rate is just not quick enough. It is a great concept, but like many things, a poor implemantation. Another, thing, I get bored sh*tless during the long flights to a target, and you can't even run on afterburner to speed things up or else you run out of juice. BTW, regarding plane differences, I agree that there's no difference in "feel", but weaponry and top speeds do differ, if nothing else. > > - HEA - Cheers, Elson -- Elson Markwick | The only good cat |ACSnet: elson@otc.otca.oz.au OTC R & D Unit |is a stir-fried cat|UUCP: {uunet,mcvax}!otc.otca.oz.au!elson Ph: 02 287 3142| ALF |Internet: elson%otc.otca.oz.au@uunet.uu.net Fax:02 287 3299| |Snail: GPO Box 7000, Sydney 2001, Australia
