ZX Spectrum - Glider - Live your dreams of unpowered flight.

If like me you're a fan of flight sims, then you might want to take a look at Glider from Sinclair/MacMillan software.
Well that's probably over selling it, flying isn't really part of this education tool.

I don’t remember this from when I had a ZX Spectrum, but I don’t think I missed much!

[@stevesretroloft]

There's quite a few Sinclair branded things I doubt many of us saw - that said it might been included on the Software 6 pack (along with epic titles like Make-a-chip!)

I was trying to find it the story, but it is long gone. There was some fellow that put a ZX81 into his glider to map out the thermals. Somehow hooked up the instruments in his glider. That must have surely inspired this title! That fellow inspired me on my journey to becoming a programmer!

I think the ZX series of computers inspired a lot of us to work in IT.

I think I remember that being an article in PCW four decades ago.
God, I feel old. 👴

@@PartarioAbdullah-Levi I doubt any other generation in history has witnessed the changes we've seen!

Gliding and ZX Spectrum both have firm place in my feed but I never expected them to intersect in the same video😮 And the surprise is comparable with that of a board game of cross-country gliding.

[@stevesretroloft]

Wonder which came first, the spectrum game of the board game? I hope whilst brief I was able to show what the game does.

Anyone remember 'Combat Lynx' on the Spectrum?

[@stevesretroloft]

Yes, I attempted to load it on a few of my old videos. (Seems all my copies of it are a little unreliable!)
