Default Indoor Glider Game for Macintosh

Years ago when I was Mac based, there was a great game where you had to fly a
paper airplane through a house, using air vents for lift, avoiding fans and
other heinous objects.

On a whim, I did a quick search hoping for a Windows based version. Alas, no
luck...but if you have a Mac, this is a definite hoot!

Enjoy!

The link did not work, but found another site that had it as freeware. I
uploaded it to my website:

Played it for a few minutes...I'll be lucky if I get any work done tomorrow ;-)

Looks interesting, but is there a location
that gives directions or hints on how to play?


You might try this site or one of its links:

http://www.geocities.com/omegatransfinito/
Download and unzip the game to a folder on your PC. There is nothing to
install, per se. Then just open the file called Glider.exe. Click Game New (I
think) and wait for it to open.

Basically, only two buttons are used: left arrow and right arrow.

Since you're already a glider pilot, it should come fairly easy to you i.e.
regarding glide slope, obstacles, etc.
