Flight Simulator II subLOGIC
Flight Simulator II is a flight simulator released by subLOGIC in 1986 for the Amiga 1000. This game came out before the Amiga 500 was released in 1987. Let that sink in. Because barely anyone understood Amiga hardware in 1986.
Flight Simulator 2 was coded by Chris Green. Microsoft Flight Simulator 3.0 of 1988 is basically just a souped-up version of this one, two years after the fact.
Flight Simulator 2 was distributed on 1x 3.5" 880kB DD diskette and requires an Amiga 500/1000 (7.xx MHz Motorola 68000) with 512K of RAM. Flight Simulator 2 v1.1 of 1987 added 68010 compatibility, removed the copy protection, and is installable to hard disk drive.
