Ah Sopwith! I've got such good memories of playing this in the early 90s. Just 16 CGA colors but the gameplay is so good! :D

10 years later, in the early 2000s I made a fan sequel of Sopwith called 'Camel' https://sopwithcamel.sourceforge.net/ that helped me to get a job at EA. Long time ago now but I've just checked it and surprisingly it still works. Hats off to Windows backwards compatibility there. Anyway, please give Sopwith a go if you've missed it over the last ~40 years it's such a great game. As mentioned in another comment, the authentic experience is to play it on a 386 and then have to hit the turbo button to slow it down... :)



just 4 CGA colors, to be exact
