PLEASE NOTE this game is old by some standards. It runs beautifully on my own machine (Windows XP, AMD single core processor, ATI graphics card) but attempting to run it with hardware acceleration on certain of my friends machines who use Vista, multi core CPU s, or Nvidia cards has often resulted in crashing at startup. I have no idea which of these elements may be causing the problem, as they all use a similar setup.
Thankfully the game includes a software renderer so that it may be run regardless of graphics acceleration hardware, and when using this my friends have had more success. However, it is limited to 640x480 resolution and is just generally ugly.
Don t let the risk of compatibility issues dissuade you though this is quite possibly the greatest arcade style flight action game of all time, both multiplayer and in story mode, though its mouse support is lacking when compared to more recent titles. Enjoy!
