Flight was the "game" we played when we could get access to suitable hardware in DEC, i do remember playing it on a new vax9000 in multi user mode and it was hot! For those who have not come across the program, it was a multi user simulation with many planes and airfields which also ran over computers connected via decnet. There was also a toolkit to create your own planes and airfields.

Found a copy above. Maybe another use for hecnet....

I've run this up on a Vaxstation 4000/90 and it was *ok*, I'm not sure I'd recommend it for anything without much grunt unless you like watching paint dry!

Very cool for the era however...
