I loved this game as a kid - it gave you a rare sense of freedom - movement within an expansive space, and that joy of throwing things in gravity-defined arcs, rather than locking you into grids, straight lines, or constrained single-screen levels. Never knew there was a 'fly home' key though.

Chopper Commando was (for me) a spiritual followup, and I loved that game even more.

OMG I used to land manually and that was the main cause of death. I always thought that game was great but way too hard. So the fly home lands you?!

I think I managed to learn how to consistently land in Ocean's F29 Retaliator.. somewhere in the late 2000s.

That was my reaction as well. But then I tried it and it crashed while landing.
