I was already over 30 when I started simming. I dug out my old software from a box in the attic. I found AIRSIM-1 (1981) and Spitfire Simulator (1982) by Mind Systems for the Apple ][. My subLogic sims were Saturn Navigator (1981), Space Vikings (1982), Flight Simulator ][ (1984) and Flight Assignment ATP for the PC (1990). I also found my Apple 2c which, surprisingly, still works ! (The Apple ][ burned up its power supply long ago.) Before that I had a Poly 88 by Polymorphic Systems (1978) on which I typed in a lunar landing (still talking "flight" here?) sim which I believe was published in "Creative Computing" magazine.
