'''''Combat Lynx''''' is a helicopter action-oriented flight sim with an arcade feel by Mike Richardson from [[Durell]]. It is not overly realistic. The helicopter and terrain are shown from the rear, there are also instruments like a compass, altimeter, and temperature monitor for the engine. There are air-to-air and air-to-ground weapons in the game, and one can land at several bases to refuel or get new ammo.
Gameplay was usually quite hectic, because pretty much the only way not to get hit by incoming missile was to fly at full tilt all the time. Thankfully there is a map, but even with that it is still possible to lose your way in the comparatively huge playing area. When the heli turns the screen switches to another viewing direction, i.e. one always looks either north, south, east, or west.
