The almost unthinkable has happened – there is actually a pretty good, addictive game on a Cassette 50, and it’s name is Ivasive (not evasive) Action.
See the Amstrad version of Ivasive Action (called Evasive Action)
See the Atari 8-bit version of Ivasive Action
See the Acorn Electron & BBC Micro version of Ivasive Action
See the ZX81 version of Ivasive Action
I have an idea. Why don’t you go out and fly a very important space mission in the most unresponsive fighter jet ever, one so slow and crappy that you will almost certainly get killed. Fancy that? No? What’s wrong with you?

Also, similar to Planetoids on the Vic-20 Cassette 50

We’ve all dreamt of striding around on a giant cheeseburger haven’t we? Haven’t we? Just me then? Oh well. Get Cheeseburger in Paradise from itch.io.
Fly a plane to blow up a dam to flood some Gestapo headquarters. Why it didn’t occur to anybody just to bomb the Gestapo headquarters rather than go through with the dam flooding plan is beyond me.
(Note: While there is an Acorn Electron version of Attacker, this is basically identical to the game Dynamite instead). It’s also similar to Dynamite on the Amstrad Cassette 50 too.

All those films where the pilot of a plane is knocked unconscious and a member of the public takes over and successfully lands it – complete bollocks. As this proves:

Admit it, you’ve always wanted to fly a disembodied dogs head around and shoot at giant spunking flying cocks and helicopter ballbags haven’t you?
Well now you can.

The moon landings. Are they real or not? Well, to be honest if it’s this difficult then there’s no way they could have been achieved:
