Anyone else remember playing Glider? As a young kid, I gladly lost countless hours trying to navigate a paper airplane through a Rube Goldberg mess of obstacles. What a fun, imaginative game.

Would be cool if there was an emulated version somewhere. Or we could borrow the author’s book and transcribe it to a modern language, ha.

I think I played Glider on an educational CD-ROM perhaps, even one about air and science? Or maybe it was just a shareware disc.

Hell yes! It showed up on at least a few Shareware diskette bundles back in the day.
