I think it is a great way to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Microsoft Flight Simulator by playing some of the older versions. Luckily some of the older versions are available as browser games now. Have fun and Happy Birthday MSFS!
My first was a cartridge based version on the Atari 130XE.
I’ve been buying the PC versions since (at least) MFS 2000 and it’s been a rip every time.
Unfortunately, to run the current sim with any degree of realistic scenery, I’m spending massive money on a system that won’t be out-of-spec after the next couple of updates.
