	This information is WRONG. Elite II: Frontier also featured
lateral thrusters, a lot of time before I-War. And before that, IIRC,
Mantis Fighter was also a very realistic space-sim.

	I-War is the most realistic capship simulator around. If you
like realistic capship simulators, it's the best for you. But for
people who prefer fighters, it's not that much fun.
