I used to play this game on my Tandy 1000. I got it in an arcade classics pack, but it was titled "Red Baron". I loved this game. This kind of game makes me wish I still had that Tandy. OK, maybe not.

Ah, the best version of this game was the Arcade vector graphics. No color, just lines and just as funny addictive. I've got one in a local wharehouse.

If you like this game, I suggest you try Triplane Turmoil sometime. It rocks.

Great game, but, anyone knows how does the multiplayer option work?

No, as It states in the review
Quote:

It was programmed in 1984 to demonstrate the capabilities of BMB’s new network product - later known as “Imaginet”. Therefore it is today still impossible to play the original version in a multiplayer mode but David is still working on that.
Which leaves me a question of my own, is he (David) done yet? :D

Um... am I missing something, or did i find a glitch. I cannot throttle down and it gets realy annoying because i keep running into a mountain. Could someone please explain what im doing wrong?

I don't know, I still don't know all teh controls, but if i remember, there IS a throttle down key.

Yes I do know that throttle down is "z" (I read the review all the way through, it often is helpful). But that is not the problem. I press "z" and i do not throttle down. It has no effect on the game at all. I have downloaded it on two computers, each with a DOSBox and twice on each. If there is a enemy plane that I want to avoid i speed away and dodge it, but i crash into a mountain going that fast unless i cycle down to about 100 which takes alot away from gameplay. Could someone please help?
