I am curious about Pilotwings since I remember seeing Nester being a part of Pilotwings 64(?).

Playing this is really making me want to get Pilotwings 64 again, I just fear those huge PAL borders will return for any VC version. The game starts off pretty dull but the missions get more interesting and exciting as it goes on to the point where it gets quite addictive.

I gave "Expert" a try last night and was pleased to find its actually a continuation of the game rather than just the same levels with slightly more difficult conditions so I'm not sure whether or not I was right in saying I had beat the game, it may have just been the game's odd presentation.

I made it past Lesson 5 in a slightly weird manner. After crashing my plane twice I started again and gave parachuting a chance, however veering off course I ended up landing on one of the floating platforms instead of the Target and was transported to a bonus game where Warning: Spoiler Below.

I appeared to become one of the giant blue penquins from Super Mario 64 and had to dive from a platform into a pool!

Because of the huge bonus I got for completing that stage I didn't actualy need to pass the plane section and was sent straight to lesson 6!

It looks like these bonus stages might be the key to higher grades in other missions.
