Blue Lightning is a pseudo-simulation computer game in which the player controls a military airplane. The game was one of the first games for the Atari Lynx, released in 1989 and was programmed by Epyx (who also developed the Lynx). The game is still considered as one of the best air-combat games on any handheld. [1]
In 1995 a new updated version, developed by Attention To Detail, was released as a pack-in game for the Atari Jaguar CD add-on. The update got horrible reviews and is considered as one of, if not, the worst Jaguar game released. It was often compared to the Lynx version, which many claimed did a much better job of showing off the hardware than the Jaguar version did. [2]
