Run the Inmos multiplayer flight simulator?
It's described here:

And the source code archive is available from here:

I hacked the code around a few years ago to get it to work on a modern
occam compiler (KRoC); the code's pretty easy to follow, given the tech
note above. My version's here:

Thanks,
That does look like a lot of fun. From the documentation it looks like
it uses a transputer video TRAM (which unfortunately I lack -- there was
one on eBay just a couple of days ago but it went for more than I was
willing to spend). All the more reason to figure out how to get
graphics working on the host PC...
