Description	With a frame rate higher than Microsoft's Flight Simulator X, real map data of northern Scotland and a full set of documentation, this is for all practical purposes a retail product, and well done for shoehorning it all into 48K. I'm surprised the author didn't also supply me with a scan of the cassette inlay with ?14.99 WHSMITH stuck on it! However, James really does assure us in the documentation that the game is in fact crap. Do you believe him? To me it brings back vague memories of TLL, but with none of that urban jungle nonsense getting in the way of the beautiful Scottish countryside! Full asm source code is also provided. By the way, James asks Perhaps somebody can show me how to remove the flicker?. Can you help on the CSSCGC 2008 forum?
Comments	Why the low crapness score? Look, this game is just too darn good, and the crapness rating is therefore very low! I actually enjoy playing it, and it's written in professional assembly language. Add in the documentation and real maps, and you have something that could've been ordered back in the day from James Smith Games plc. PO. Box 27. Inverness. Price ?14.99, please allow 28 days for?delivery.?I'm sorry but submitting good games like this ain't gonna win the compo. Congrats on the game though it really is great to see a geographically accurate Scotland scroll past on our beloved speccy.
