: Uh, never heard of "LHX", whatever that means.

LHX is a 3D-polygon Helicopter 'Simulator', where you can choose to fly
in three theatres (Europe, Libya or modern day Vietnam) in your choice of
the Apache Attach 'chopper, the Blackhawk, the Osprey VTOL or the currently
being developed LHX Attach Helicopter. Your opponents range from guys on the
ground with AK-47's to ZSU-23's to Migs to the latest Soviet Attack Chopper, 
the 'Hokum'.

Your ordinance can be chosen from Hellfire laser guided missile, chain 
guns (including my favorite Look-at-the-target-and-it's-toast sighting),
Dum-fire FFAR's, wire-guided missiles, and Sidewinder and Stinger Air to Air
missiles. Not much compaired to other sims, but it suffices.

: Will it run on my 4.77MHz 8088?

Most likely. It is speed moderated, so that it runs the same speed on a 486
as on a 286 (well, almost). You can vary the level of detail as well.

: So it's a blow 'em up flying game?  Sounds like my cup o'tea...

There are rescue missions as well, such as getting people out of prison camps,
and supply runs (such missions the Apache and LHX are unsuitable).
