This is one of my favorite Nintendo64 simulation games. It is violence-free (except for a bad crash-landing here and there) and gameplay is more controllable. Unlike certain racing games like “1080 Snowboarding” or wrestling games, one feels in control. The aim of the game is to earn your pilot wings. In order to do this, you'll have to learn the basics of flying: how to navigate, land, glide, keep track of weather conditions and your fuel. A game player can choose from several different vehicles. My favorite was the hang glider. The scenery is beautiful and is like a cyber-mapmaker's dream. Cyber-Gliding through the clouds and over the natural and man-made scenery is the next best thing to having one's own airplane. I highly recommend this game.
