       I spent some time this morning flying over Arizona in MS Flight Sim 2020. Another fav sim of mine is Pilotwings 64 for the Nintendo 64 -- such fun! It was developed by a group called Paradigm. Before Paradigm made PW64, they did flight sim work for SGI systems. One of those sims was "Certain Impact." There aren't many videos around of it in play, but I made a quick-and-dirty video of it running on my SGI O2 a while back. The O2 with the R10000 was pretty beefy hardware, for the time. Have a look.https://bytecellar.com/2017/05/05/a-glimpse-of-paradigm-simulations-certain-impact-for-sgi-irix/#SGI #flightsim #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #gaming #N64 #Nintendo #flightsimulator #FlightSim2020 #UNIX #IRIX #3D

       @blakespot I wonder whether their SGI experience helped with the N64.

       omg i LOVED Pilotwings. I was so good at it -- the parachute+landing, the plane flying, the shooting out of a cannon....
