Flight simulator: Tie Fighter Simulator
"Tie Fighter Simulator" is a small flight simulator created with AMOS and is intended to be a "nostalgic and light-hearted homage to Star Wars, electronic games of the 1980s and the joy of retro programming".
The project was started in 2021 as a personal exercise to relearn AMOS on the Amiga. The idea for the mini-game (a kind of 1980s electronic LED handheld) was inspired by a scene from Star Wars: Episode IV.
