You know this game was built together with US airforce flight instructores, do you?^^ I played it for over a year or so, back in the day... well, actually I really started playing after a month... never had to put so much time into a game again... ever.

I didnt know for sure, but I knew whoever developed the game obviously had a vast knowledge of fighter jets and flying in general, and it really shows in the game itself. I think I will go back to it and do some dogfighting after ive had my Grimrock fix

I've played (though not mastered) Falcon 4.0, and at least compared to that game, Aurora wins by a wide margin in terms of overcomplexity & fiddlyness.

Début: Planet Simulation on the Amiga. Had no idea what to do and never returned to it.

Nethack , took me 20 years on/off playing before my Valkyrie finally ascended to demigod-hood.

I find that there are a lot of games like this being sold these days. I think it's mainly because they are not planned properly, and are made up as they go along, basically just a bunch of patches.

Most cumbersome game I remember was Wizardry VI - 'Bane of the Cosmic Forge' on the Amiga 500. 11 floppy disks.
Problem was, that combat had to be fought to the end and could not just interrupted if a party member died. At later stages of the game with many enemies most fast way to reload a save was to make a reset, new boot of Amiga and then load of the program. (4 - 5 minutes each time, still faster then fight to the end).
