I bought my Commodore 64, and a copy of Flight Simulator 2.x at the same time, in 1983. I used to play games on a TRS80 that an army buddy owned, so I was interested in getting one, but it was FS2 that made me go and get one soon as I could get the money together!

I first saw Flight Simulator on an IBM/IBM Clone in the Myer store in Melbourne a few weeks earlier, I just HAD to buy a computer and Flight Simulator.
I eventually got thrown out of Myer's because I wouldn't stop playing Flight Sim! Even my two friends who were with me couldn't get me off the computer!
