Falcon is a great game, if you want a "no compromise" (i.e., _hard_) flight
simulator.  Game time is measured in seconds, though it increases to minutes
when you learn how to fly and fight :-)  I don't know if you can fly for an
hour, I never have, since after 10-20 minutes I'm out of either ammo, luck, or
altitude.

"Silent Service" (Microprose) remains a favorite of mine after several years
of owning it.  Its game time is usually under an hour.  Too bad Microprose
no longer seems interested in the ST market.
