Hmmmm.....  got  a lot of use out of Starfighter when it first came out ... 
1987 I think ? Even now I still give it a game or two when the A1000 is 
powered up (it doesn't seem to work correctly under UAE - graphics get 
screwed around). Fairly basic, but still a lot of (mindless) fun.

cheers,

Lance
