>>There was this stupidly addicting game called "Sopwith Camel" I think, that was played on my first Tandy 1000. You flew a plane (wide angle side view only) across the screen and fought another plane. It was very simplistic, but I couldn't stop playing it. Tried to find a pic or link to it, but the ones I found were way more complex. This was like watching a cartoon.

ROFL!
