Straining for that horizon, so far beyond its capacity

While certainly ambitious, EA's 1991 combat flight simulator is one of those things you'd only be impressed by that year. It seems to attempt to render polygons on the Genesis without any enhancement chips on the level of Virtua Racing, nor any on-board sprite scaling capabilities to fall back on. What results is a game that runs at a slideshow framerate, with delayed controls so sluggish it feels like lugging about a stack of cinderblocks.
If you're a hard-core flight simulator fan and are also somehow reading this 30 years in the past, you may get something out of it.
