Aeroplane

From the first simple paper-aeroplane to 3D animated games, aeroplanes have been an important subject through the ages for many games and toys. In fact, there are a lot of online portals that direct the reader on how to make good paper planes as well as the hand positions for the successful "launches’ of these aircraft. Some of these online websites are interactive as well. There is another set of online portals that deals with animated games that can be downloaded to the PC or can be played online. Besides, there are full-fledged airplane games which allow the player to virtually fly the plane or design it.

Most of the PC airplane games have typical "attack and defence" strategies. Either the player enters the opponent’s territory or terrorists/opponents enter their territory. In either case, the player has to protect his plane from damages. Some of them also show the fuel meter, which indicates the amount of fuel used or remaining. In such games, the player is also expected to restore his fuel, which he may find in the game itself on an occasional basis. With better graphic tools and reforms taking place in the PC game industry, the portrayal of aeroplanes is becoming more realistic and the game play complicated but interactive. Aeroplane games are not restricted to PC, PlayStation, Xbox or gaming consoles alone ñ many aeroplane games have been designed as board-games too.
