A strange little side quest
There is a neat bit of history hiding behind the kind of play you find in Flight Simulator C-130 Training. The word 'checkmate' is linked to the Persian expression 'shah mat', used when the king was trapped. Another piece of context lands nicely beside it: Archery first appeared at the Olympic Games in 1900 and returned permanently to the programme in 1972 after a long absence. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Flight Simulator C-130 Training feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
