subLogic flight simulator is even older (first Apple II version in 1979) https://youtu.be/uvvfJ60gIf0 Microsoft licensed it to make MS FS.
Someone showed me (subLogic) Flight Simulator II, on a C-64 I think before I had a computer. I finally got a used IBM PC as my first computer (4.77 MHz 8088, CGA graphics, 20 MB hard drive) and MS FS version 3 and played the hell out of it, despite how badly it ran. When I installed it at my mom’s work on a 386 with VGA it was like a whole new game.
