"The best of the bunch was B-17 Bomber. It was a simple game involving dropping bombs from the bomb bay."

 

Simple except for figuring bomb loads, fuel loads, keeping track of the RPM's, Fighting off fighters and few other simple tasks.

Yeah, I noticed the same thing.  The article is indeed interesting, but sort of suspect.  By the end I started wondering if it was anything else than an advertisement for the Amico; just pulling on the "nostalgia" strings of the retro-gaming community.
