#16 - Hellcats over the Pacific - My really old Mac

Whats better than bombing ships and flying into trees? bombing ships and flying into trees in glorious 256 colours! At the time of release this was considered a huge leap in flight sim games. What was so great about hellcats was how easy to get into it the game was. Even 8 year old me could enjoy this flight sim. I blew up many an air port runway with my orange octangular bombs, and kamakazeed many a ship while a gray stick of smoke shot out from my tail.

The only problem was that whenever you'd change views, the placement of trees on the ground would change as well. So I'd be landing my damaged ship, change vews while landing, and suddenly blow up on a tree that wasn't there a second ago. Boo to that! but yay to everything else!

This game is probably impossible to find now. But if you do, go for it, it's probably still quite fun despite aging horribly.
