Check out how nice the polygon graphics graphics were in this simulator for 1981! At the price of 20 million dollars, it wasn't exactly cheap either.... A nice video of the flight simulator here: And from the same youtube channel, here's a demo of the Link Flight Simulator - 1984

Looks like each one was about 10-15 years ahead of its PC equivalent. Impressive for 1981.
