The Combat Flight Simulator was a genre which screamed "home computer" back in the day, and amongst the many released over the years, Digital Integration's Fighter Pilot certainly can stake a claim to being one of the first.

But does it offer more than being such an early entry? That's what the focus is on this episode of Beyond The Scanlines, which dives into it on 3 of its releases - from the original ZX Spectrum version, to conversions on the Commodore 64 and Atari 8-Bit family.

Thanks for watching!
