In this game, you control an airplane. You must try to avoid crashing into the mountains, you keep on flying until you crash into a mountain, the longer you fly, the more points you get. This is one of the simplest games I ever played. May be fun in short bursts, not much replay value, albeit there may be a small incentive to beat your own high score. While there is not much to it, you must have excellent concentration and reflexes to get a high score. Has excellent landscape graphics (the white caps are what your airplane shouldn't touch).
Worth a download for a quick try.

The names of games are usually disappointing when you get the game that you paid for. Luckily this game isn't like that, if you want to fly then you should get Fly. Many times I have seen this game posted and put up on game forums and game advertisements but I never really played it. When I tried it I figured that it reminded me a lot about the game that you would get on your phone where you played as a helicopter and had to make sure that you didn't touch the top or the obstacles. All this game really is is the same thing just without the walls to deal with. It is a more free flying game with just as much if not more.
Overall, I wouldn't consider it a great game, but all in all it is worthy of being played if you truly want to give it a try. It really worth few hours or even days.

This is an interesting game. You basically fly an airplane and keep it from crashing into things, particularly mountains. It's one of those games that can pretty much go on forever, or until you crash into something, particularly, a mountain. The "fun" comes from outdoing your buddy and seeing who can fly the longest without crashing, and therefore earning the most number of points. This is a fun game, don't let the outdated graphics and game play steer you away. We all had to start somewhere right?
Worth the download? Yes. Worth repeated game-play? Maybe, maybe not. It depends how much time you have to kill and how many other games like this you download just for the purpose of killing time. You most likely won't talk to your friends about this game on the weekends, or compare scores, or even play it twice. I consider it to be a game to play once I've gotten frustrated playing all the other games I've downloaded.
Like I said the graphics aren't spectacular, but I suppose for its age it's decent. Mostly game-play involves you controlling a plane, and you trying to dodge the mountains. The mountains come and go, which make you wonder why wouldn't you just fly at the max altitude possible of your aircraft's capability? But I digress.
I think the average dos box gamer will enjoy downloading this and giving it a test run. What's the worse thing that could possibly happen? Download the game, enjoy it, play it a few times, talk to your buddies about it, compare tactics, compare skill, and replay or delete it, that's about it.
In closing, I enjoyed playing this game. Would I recommend it to other people? Yeah probably, just so we could have a brief discussion about how much better one or the other is compared to the other. "My reflexes are better than yours!" "nu-uh!" "yeah-huh!" you get the idea. But after that, realistically I (and probably most of you) would rather spend their time mindlessly killing zombies or aliens in a number of other old Dos games like Quake, Doom, Duke Nuke 'em, etc. But if you're into side-scrolling, never ending, mind boggling, nerve racking, slow going entertainment, then FLY is for you!
Enjoy, and don't forget to pull up!
