I know this may sound silly but.......
 

Is anyone out there going to get the game "Airlines 2"? For those of you who don't know what is "Airlines 2", it is a airlines business stradegy simuation.

Just wondering if any frequent flyer fanatics would like this game at all.

Hehe, I can just imagine. As I'm flying on United, I play this game that allows me to creat a virtual airline which acquires United... Mind Boggling!

I actually spend a lot of time playing Hoyle's 2003 Board Games on the plane. The Chess games really sharpens your mind tactically.

Sounds http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/cool.gif to me!
I want to reincarnate PSA, the most fun in the air in the eighties.

to be grumpy and cynical:

who else thinks this is a thinly disguised ad?

Hey! I just happen to be a person who likes to play video games and tries to earn a lot of frequent flyer miles as a hobby

Well it does not sound silly at all. I saw an advertisement for this software and was also curious. I think it would be quite fun and challenging IF it is a good simulation.

Has anyone tried out this software? Any reviews?

being the cynic that I am (and a bit of a game nut myself), i'd say that when Globalstar decides to release a demo version of the game, i'll check it out before deciding whether to plunk down 50 bucks on software. Software companies that refuse to release a demo version of their software are clearly afraid that their product is fromage! Plus, my wallet is my only way to vote for great software and lousy ones too.

here's the skinny on the game....

Sounds like a fun game to me. Maybe the executives at AA, UA, Delta, et al should buy copies. They might learn something.

I enjoy playing a similar game, with a more comical touch, called Airline Tycoon by MonteCristo Multimedia.
