Guns! Explosions! Mayhem! Landing gear!

What do you get when you take Choplifter, U.N. Squadron, and other side-scrolling arcade shooters no one under 40 has heard of and no one over 40 remembers, throw in a dash of realism from Jane’s Combat Simulations and DCS, and mix it all together? Bombs! Missiles! Death! Stall warnings!

Do you like 3D graphics? Sound? Colors? Well, slow down there, Buck Rogers. Rather Curious Side-scrolling Combat Flight Simulator 1 isn’t for pampered city folk and their fancy “production values.” Rather Curious Side-scrolling Combat Flight Simulator 1 takes the old in old school and makes it older.

You can go to Flight School in the menu to learn the controls. That said, here's a cheat sheet. Every action has several keys or buttons mapped to it, so pick the ones that feel natural:

Movement: <WASD>, cursor keys, D-pad, left stick

Change direction (helo): <DEL, END>, <Q, E>, shoulder buttons

Throttle (plane): <DEL, END>, <Q, E>, shoulder buttons

Hover (helo) | Landing mode (plane): <HOME>, <1>, select button

Move camera: <SHIFT> + cursor keys or <WASD>, right stick

Restore camera: <BACKSPACE>, <TAB>, right stick button

Cycle weapons: <PG-UP, PG-DN>, <Z, C>, top/bottom "face" button

Fire/Select: <CTRL>, <SPACEBAR>, left face button (usually X)
