Ditto, although I got my 48K around 85 and stumbled on a pirated tape of the Psion FS around 86! Man I loved that sim because it had no migs and no jets, just 2 or 3 runways, 2 or 3 geometric lakes and lots of room for imagination.
I can still load it up although not the original tape, but now you can get the games in MP3 form.
