It's Christmas time; time to get myself a present for having been such a
good boy :-)

I'm looking for reviews/comments for some C-64 games; anyone able to help?

Any of the various helicopter simulations:
  Gunship (MicroProse)
  Infiltrator (MindScape) -- looks like a graphics adventure to me
  Infiltrator II (MindScape) -- ditto, of course
  Super Huey II (Cosmi)
  

  I've got Super Huey (Cosmi), and it's a Grade A turkey.
  I've seen ThunderChopper, and it has the same very slow response that
     Flight Simulator II does (for good reason, it says right on the box
     that the graphics software is licensed from SubLogic).

Also:
  Chuck Yeager's Advanced Flight Trainer (Electronic Arts) -- Is this any
     more fun than Flight Simulator II (which I find dreadfully boring)?

  EOS (Electronic Arts) -- This one looks pretty interesting.  I'd especially
     like to know if it has any "real-time" sections where you have to be
     quick with a joystick, or do you get plenty of time to plan each move?

And has anyone tried any of the super-cheapie games?  You know, the ones
that cost like $7.99 for 2 or 3 games in one package.  Any reason not to
believe that you don't get what you don't pay for in these?

E-mail is fine.  Posting messages is fine.  Whatever you like...
