Flying through the danger zone… Back in the 80s, Top Gun was the macho film to watch. Everyone wanted to be able to fly F-16s and shoot down Migs, whilst giving the finger to Russian pilots.

The original Pirate of the Caribbean is back, and his name’s not Jack! Back in 1987 Sid Meier created a little game called Pirates! At the time it was a revalation. Never before had this kind of open endedness been seen in a game. Of course it did come from the man who created Civilisation …
