Solo Flight was not Sid Meier's first game, as has been written.
Indeed, the advertisements clearly state by the makers of
Hellcat Ace.
Besides that, there
were Chopper Rescue and Floyd of the Jungle, also from the previous
year, to say nothing of Hostage Rescue, a BASIC game from before
the foundation of MicroProse that has somehow survived.
But in contrast to the earlier games, which were all action/arcade titles, Solo Flight is a realistic flight simulator. It is still considered one of the best, or maybe the best, on the Atari.
