Didn't the same company do a Super Hornet sim? How did that compare?

I see it had a multi-stage training module - basic training and then
weapons conversion. If it's as sophisticated as it sounds then it's
definately worth building a legacy system to play.

That's a lot of hardware, though it would make sense if it came out in
'93, about the time that the first Pentium chips arrived. However, I
have this memory of seeing it around in "Software Etc." about a year or
so earlier. Evcen though I had a lackluster system, I still hung
around there for the bargain bin, picking up all sorts of FS4 add-ons
for nothing.

Win98 systems wanted to check these games out and had to jump a few
hoops of their own to make these games run.
