Michael Jordan in Flight

Michael Jordan in Flight is a video game in the sports genre developed by Pacific Gameworks and published by Electronic Arts, Inc. originally released in 1993. It is currently playable on DOS.

Michael Jordan in Flight is a good basketball game, one of the first to use digitized video footage of the players, although the results are not very effective. It was also one of the first games published under Electronic Arts' EA Sports label and a good starting point for EA's later series of NBA games.

Despite starring the basketball legend himself and featuring a good 3D map-mixing graphics engine with SVGA support (unfortunately only for some older video cards), the game is not that fun and its replay value is minimal. It offers 3-on-3 matches and tournaments and only supports mouse and joystick controls, no keyboard. Other than Jordan himself, the other players look very similar, and the controls are not user-friendly.

The best features of the game are probably the multiple camera angles and the ability to create your own highlight films with the 'Video-Edit Lab' feature. Aside from the novelty and star power, the game has very little else to offer. It's fun for a while if you're a Jordan fan or want to see how the (horrible) digitized video would look in a basketball game.

If you really want to play a good basketball game, you're better off sticking with EA's previous classics, One on One or Lakers vs. Celtics.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
