Reviews:

PC Entertainment, February 1996

"Form Gen has a flight sim designed to help newbies take to the air and start downing some bogies - without having to wade through a 200-page manual."

"Black Knight: Marine Strike Fighter puts you - and a computerized flight instructor - at the controls of an F/A-18 Hornet. To help you get started, the vocal instructor talks you through everything from taking off to targetting to landing. Dialog boxes pop up to explain weapons systems and other cockpit controls. A status bar at the top of the screen keeps you up to date with critical information such as speed and rate of climb."

"If you've always wanted to try a combat flight sim, but didn't know where to start, Black Knight could be your bird."

Computer Gaming World, February 1996

"Green pilots can start with eight training missions, which guide you through such fundamentals as take-offs and landings, waypoint navigation, air combat, and ground attacks. Such basic training, coupled with onscreen text cues and an in-flight instructor, help make this an ideal choice for those learning to stretch their flight sim wings. Free-flight mode also helps novice pilots learn flight controls and cockpit instrument layouts."

"Once you're ready for action, Black Knight antes up 50 full-featured combat missions, escalating in difficulty from simple arcade-style shoot-outs to tactically intense combinations of air and ground offensives."

"If you're a green recruit to PC air combat sims, this should be enjoyable introduction. It's simple, but sleek, and not at all intimidating."
