#2Lers of Spoil: this is about a NES game ;-) Pretty cool still, especially if one's into reverse engineering.

#3Meta: Should have "NES" added to title to clarify it's about a game, not (as I thought) the movie.

#7If you're into carrier landings and have a VR headset, I highly recommend checking out VTOL VR.

Very prescient, too!

#9> After about a minute of flying the game checks your state and plays a little cutscene showing either a textbook landing or an expensive fireball. Either way, you get a “Mission Accomplished!” and go to the next level (after all, you don’t own that plane, the taxpayers do):
For realism's (and comedy's) sake, they could have shown a pixel ejecting from the five (I think) pixels that form the jet before it explodes into a fireball, then floating down on a tiny parachute and being rescued by a tiny boat.
...but seriously, you didn't even get your score reduced for crashing the plane on landing?

#10I remember this being next to impossible as a kid. The whole game was tough, but this was on another level.
