I have the Strike Commander CD-rom version and it played quite nicely on my
soon to be antique 486sx2-50 with 8 megs o' RAM.  I even ran it pretty well
with just 4 megs and a boot disk.  Personally I really *liked* the graphics
ang the storyline.  Plus the arcade setting where you could just blast planes
continuously until you ran out of fuel or were shot down.  Does anyone know of
a flight sim that is much better than SC?  I've been majorly disappointed in
some of the others I've tried.  I want to see real textures... not the same
old poly-sided crap most flight sims have.
