Description Jetset
Jetset is an early ASCII-only flight simulator program coded entirely in BASIC. This version is coded from the BASIC codes printed in one of the first BYTE! Magazine, sometime in 1979.
You control the plane from a first-person perspective, watching all the gauges and dials as you attempt to take off, fly the plane, and finally land. Although it doesn't have realistic scenery (you can't do much with ASCII graphics to represent the terrain), the game has plenty of realism and playability, offering a surprisingly robust physics model given the limitations of the BASIC language.
It's worth a look, especially for armchair pilots collecting moldy old flight programs. Who knows, it may well be the first PC flight simulation game in existence ;)
