I just got it at Egghead.  They had it on the clearance table for $25 (reg $39)
and then had a coupon for 20% off all clearance table items, so I got it for
$20.  I run it on my IIci and it works great.  No crashes.  Great color.  This
game (simulation) even comes with an audio tape to train you and a manual.

Sorry I don't remember the brand name (I am here at work) but if you send me
email, I will have checked it out by then.  I think it was by Wescon, Inc or
something like that.

I would call your local Egghead dealer to see if they still have it.
