In Sharka's QuickBytes, I'll be taking a bite-sized (byte-sized?) look at retro games, usually several per video when I'm covering a particular series or theme. There'll be more editing and shorter and more scripted commentary in QuickBytes than in the laid-back Nostalgic Nibbles series, and most vids won't be longer than ten minutes - perfect for a quick blast of Sharka-themed retro goodness.

In this episode, we take a look at one of MicroProse's attempts to bring flight sims to console, in this case, the NES. Nintendo's 8-bit console already had a number of arcade flight sims in its library by 1991, mostly Afterburner-ish affairs, but none had really made the attempt to truly capture simulation feel. Did MicroProse succeed? Let's find out.

Dedicated to my partner, supportive in all the things I do and taking a retro journey alongside me, one I'm very happy to be able to share with her.
