A flight simulator for the Acorn Archimedes released by Simis in 1989. This video features an unboxing, review and CRT capture of one mission running on a real A3000.
Interdictor is a predecessor to the well known Mig-29 Fulcrum developed by the same company in 1991. The 3D graphics, although not too detailed, are good and move smoothly at all times, while the title screen is not bad.
The sound features some good sound effects, but there is no music track.
The flight model was very good for the time of release and it received further improvements in Mig-29.
Mouse control is one of the best found in simulators, but it still takes some practice to get used to (especially if you're sitting on the left of the Archie, have a camera in front of the keyboard and try to reach for the mouse to the right).
Game difficulty is low, since the enemy fighters don't put much of a fight, but as you progress in the game they attack you in greater numbers while assisted by SAMs, so it gets more challenging.
Overall, one of the best flight simulators of the 80s.

REM ** User's Memories **
I first read about the Archimedes in Pixel magazine. In the issue where they reviewed the A3000 (the one with Batman on the cover, seen in the video), or in one of the later issues, they mentioned a flight simulator for the Archimedes with great graphics running at lightning speeds, which "shows what the machine is capable of". I'm pretty sure that they were referring to Interdictor.
