Anyone play the game that was 2 books...each player used one. You started on a certain page, and each chose a maneuver. That maneuver told you to go to such and such a page. When you went there, it showed a drawing from your cockpit, and where the enemy plane ended up. Was really cool. My first flightsim was Solo Flight for C64, followed by Microsoft Flight Sim 5.0

Microsoft flight sim 98, started with arrow keys then I got a cheap MS joystick with 3 buttons. Then I found AH and as they say, the rest is history.

In the game, the player controls a Sopwith Camel biplane during World War I, attempting to shoot down enemy planes and bomb targets on the ground.

The game is named after the prestigious order Pour le Mérite, informally known as Blue Max.

One of the neat things about having inferior graphics back in the day, it really made your imagination run wild. More than made up for the lack of realism on the CRT.

B-17 Bomber on Intellivision was the foshizzle too.
