Incredible visuals for a handheld game, Blue Lighting had "I can't believe they can do this" graphics. If you wanted to impress someone with an Atari Lynx, you'd show them this.

Sadly, it just wasn't actually very fun to play. You could fly up into the clouds, or down low to dodge buttes in the desert, but most of the enemies sort of fly past you and only shoot near you, very little in the way of direct attacks. You'd die sometimes, but it felt like a random event not the result of being bad at flying the plane.

Sure was a pretty game though.
