Here's an early classic, Steve Lees' seminal Falcon Patrol. Taking its queues from arcade classic defender with an extra layer of complexity in that you have to refuel and rearm by landing vertically on one of the bases. Some nice sprite work on the planes and buildings and functional sound effects are complemented by some challenging dogfighting. At time of release, this was a huge success and showed a flair for improving on the bog standard arcade conversion/clone. There was a follow up which we'll come to at a later date.
