We got a computer software catalog in the mail today which lists
some Disney Software some of you with IBM computers may be interested
in.  We own an Amiga, so we can't vouch for any of these titles
and it's been a long time since we've ordered anything from this mail
order company.  I'm just posting these 'cause they say "Disney"!  The
catalog is sent by Computability 800-558-0003, or I guess you can
check the ads in IBM/compatibile computer magazines or look in IBM/
compatible computer stores for more information.  (Don't ask us!)
 
Quoting the ad:

Disney Software, but here goes anyway and sorry if they ain't...!)
 
Stunt Island:  You've seen the amazing stunts:  An out of control
biplane plowing through a barn.  A jet crashlanding on crowded city
streets.  A crazy pilot playing cat-and-mouse with a speeding car.

plus many classic military aircraft - 40 different aircraft in all.
