ゲームプレイ

The game begins with an advertisement attributed to an 18 July 1922 issue of the Chicago Sun which reads: “Wanted: Airmail pilot for the Columbus to Chicago run. Must be willing to fly in every type of weather. Only the foolhardy need apply.” The player pilots a Curtiss JN-4D “Jenny” biplane carrying mail from Columbus, Ohio to Chicago, via Dayton, Indianapolis, and Logansport.

評価と反応

Bruce Campbell reviewed Airmail Pilot in The Space Gamer No. 36. Campbell commented that “If you are looking for a realistic airflight simulation, Airmail Pilot is not for you. Since its price is on the lower end of the software spectrum, I do recommend it for those looking for a quick, easy, enjoyable game with limited staying power.” Another reviewer from Moves commented, “It can be fun and amusing, but it is not designed to hold an adult’s attention for very long.”
