AIRLINE
Requires: Extended Basic.
An ADVENTURE INTERNATIONAL game- best known as Scott Adams who wrote the databases for the Adventure Module.
This unusual game of strategy is quite different. Never widely available- it was released after the Nov 1983 TI pull-out.
It is a sort of trading game in which you operate a fleet of aircraft around the United States, represented by a grid of squares on screen. Each landing point has certain trading characteristics which are to be taken into account, and each type of plane you can operate has its own costs and benefits.
Hard to describe without repeating the docs, but it is a game of strategy.
The computer plays fairly well and you will need to think to beat it.
Not a shoot em up or a flight simulator.
