Chuck Yaeger's Flight Simulator works on a IIci. As on all color Macs, it
uses only 16 colors, though. In addition, try it out before you buy it: I
am a Microsoft FS veteran (both on PC's and Mac Pluses) and, even in B&W on
a Plus, I used to have more fun with it than in color on a IIci with Chuck
Yaeger's. The terrain info is great in Microsoft's FS. Now if only you
could fly more planes and have color and more detailed terrain info....
