This review is from: Knights of the Sky (PC - 3.5" diskette) (3.5" disk)

i got this game for my husband for Christmas. The fact that it was on floppies and used DOS should have warned me, but I figured since I could access DOS from WINDOWS the game should work fine. Unfortunately, the game was created in 1991 when state-of-the art was a PS2. Playing the game proved to be virtually impossible, as the two disks had to be continuously interchanged in the drive during game play, and the instructions for downloading onto the hard drive did not work on our Dell PC. If you are a collector of vintage computer games and have an older machine in good condition you might have a different experience than we did. With our newer computer, the limitations of play were too frustrating to make it worth our time.
