Jul 04, 2010 If you're a fan of old Macintosh games, you may be familiar with Glider and it's much more well known sequel, Glider Pro. (once those obnoxious paper airplanes stop killing me). X-Plane is without peer on the Mac. Calling X-Plane a game isn't just wrong, but it's insulting: X-Plane is the definitive flight simulator for the platform. Intricately detailed, it's also incredibly scalable - X-Plane runs on mobile, oz77n home Macs and PCs, and also operates as.
Flight is a straight-forward, easy to play, fun flight control game with plenty of upgrades and achievements to enjoy. The aim of this game is to throw a paper plane as far as you can, to complete 6 different levels, and travel 1000 meters (or yards) with least amount of “throws” on each level, while collecting as many achievements as possiblel, and upgrading your paper plane at the same time. You will throw your plane across various landscapes – flying over different cities, countries and continents. Ready to travel the world by paper plane? Good, just make sure you dont 'fold' under the pressure!
Glider puts you in the role of a paper airplane in its quest to find an open window and exit the house he's trapped on. You have a rudimentary control of the plane (remember it's a paper plane) and must try to get through room after room of the house by riding currents of hot air, fans, etc. And avoiding danger in the form of balloons.
How to Play: Pick the plane up with your left mouse click. Then throw it to the right side of the screen holding the mouse button and dragging the mouse itself, and release it. You will need to have good control over your mouse and wrist in order to throw the plane a good distance. It takes practice! To start, choose to play a New Game or Load Game (where you can continue where you left off on a game). Click on ‘Customize’ to customize your plane (change color and texture). Track your progress at the top of the game screen.
Upgrade your plane, its power and control by buying various upgrades from the chart. You can upgrade to a lighter model, buy extra throwing power and create a more aerodynamic model, reduce the fuel consumption by 10% or more, resist negative wind effects, and collect cranes and windmills. For example, you can buy an add on, such as a fire engine and then throw your plane, and push Spacebar to activate the fire engine to fly even further. Upgrades are not limited – you can buy a lighter model once, then make it even lighter (but that costs several times more), add more power, and again add even more power (but again at a higher cost).
The cash you collect along your flight path is shown at the bottom of the game screen. There are also various achievements for you to gain, such as collecting 30 space starts in a single flight, flying over a country in 15 days or less, collecting $500 in a single flight etc. Collecting stars will earn you cash. Collecting cranes will give you a bonus multiplier to all the cash you collect for a couple of seconds. Windmills will give your paper plane a last minute boost.

Abandonware Simulation Games
Simulation games are a diverse category of games that attempt to simulate elements of the real world and often they have no strictly defined goal beyond the simulated activity. So if you’d like the challenge of trying a new activity or experience, then this genre will appeal.
Within the genre there are a large number of management and strategic planning games which share features with the strategy genre, without the goal of conquering an opponent. Games like SimCity, A-Train and Theme Hospital are examples of management simulators. The theme extends to sports simulators, such as the Championship Manager games where the focus in on managing a team and its resources.
Along with management simulators there are games that focus more closely on activities such as combat or vehicle simulators. Microsoft Flight Simulator, Jane’s Combat Simulations and the submarine simulator Silent Service are activity simulators worthy of attention.
