Airlines (computer game)

Airlines (computer game)

"Airlines" is an MS-DOS based construction and management simulation game created by Interactivision later renamed InterActive Vision. The main object of the game was to successfully set up an airline by buying aircraft, planning routes, setting ticket prices and dealing with events such as hostage and oil crises. The game had 4 airlines, a minimum of one of which was human controlled, the rest computer controlled. The game begins with the year set as 1970 and as time progresses more aircraft models become available corresponding with their first flights in reality.

The aircraft in the game, unlike in many other airline simulations, used real aircraft names, illustrations and model specifications.

In October 2002 Interactivison released "Airlines 2", despite the fact that the original "Airlines" game was largely unknown. "Airlines 2" appeared to have slightly better market success.

Similar games include "Airline Tycoon" and "Airport Tycoon".

As an MS-DOS based game, "Airlines" does not appear to work on the Windows XP operating system, unless you use the third party application Dosbox.
