Join us as we discover how Flight Simulator's humble beginnings have led it to the soaring heights of cutting-edge graphics and simulation, how a still small company from Redmond (Microsoft!) acquired the license and eventually bought the franchise, and how once again the underground video games being played on the PLATO computer system at the University of Illinois' Urbana-Champaign campus inspired future game developers and helped to shape today's video game design, before video games were available to the general public.
