I'm still waiting for mine. We've played several times, although he's beaten me more than I've beaten him. I generally like the improvements to the HUD's, although I haven't really used the new radar mode yet. I find that it's more interesting to play against a human rather than just the computer. I think that I'm getting better, faster. What I'd like to see is multiple F-16's teaming up on Mig's during missions. It's already possible for one mac to handle an F-16 and two or three Mig's, so this could all be done, speed wise at least, with one Mac for each human player. Of course, this version would only work over Appletalk... I still have one gripe, though. On neither the Plus nor the SE will Falcon run under system 6.x, although it will happily do so on a II. The new documentation says this explicitly. Does anyone know the reason _why_? Is this something that is unfixable? Please enlighten me.
