Super Huey UH-IX is a combat flight simulator that was originally released on the Commodore 64 in 1985.
+ Arcade mode is a brilliant idea, as it allows less patient gamers to avoid take-off and get straight into the action.+ Flight School is another neat addition, as it slowly teaches you the basics to alleviate an otherwise steep learning curve.
+ Respectable frame-rate, and despite only having two buttons the controls work well and quickly become second nature.
- Reality mode contains only a single mission that can be beaten in a couple of minutes by simply avoiding all enemies.
- Opponents have an infuriating tendency to spawn out of thin air, causing you damage despite having no time to prepare.
- Speed is lacking and unless you look at your speedometer you'll have no clue as to whether you're at 20 mph or 80 mph.
- Bare-bones graphics with only a few random objects scattered around, and the enemy vehicle animation is unimpressive.
