I played a lot of it on the Atari ST and found it lots of fun. It had a 
really good balance between giving you a simulator feel while also being 
rather playable. In comparison I really didn't get on with Fighting 
Falcon as landing was a complete nightmare (at least for me) and even if 
I managed to finish a mission I might end up just ejecting as it was 
better than crashing.

The next one I played was Jane's Longbow 2. Unfortunately by that point 
in my life I no longer found much enjoyment in spending up to hour 
learning how to land with a damaged engine using auto-rotate!
