Airline Pilots is a flight simulator released for Sega NAOMI arcade hardware in 1999. The game simulates flying a Boeing 777 aircraft, and was developed with the input of engineers and pilots from Japan Airlines. Two different cabinet models were manufactured. The default type is a typical sit down cabinet with one monitor, while the "DX type" cabinet features three side-by-side 29" monitors, which surround the player to create a "cockpit".
The extreme difficulty of "Airline Pilots", combined with a lack of interest in realistic flight simulators, led Sega to manufacture a conversion kit which allowed owners to convert the units into the more popular Sega Strike Fighter. As a result, Airline Pilots cabinets are relatively rare.

Semicom's second pure mini game collection relies on quick and simple challenges in the same vein as Bishi Bashi, borrowing its input scheme of three colored buttons. Seventeen games in four tears wait for their completion, ranging from boring stuff like "find the differing image" or "choose the right exit from the labyrinth", to more inventive tasks where the player evades Gozilla's stomping feet or performs magic tricks in form of button combinations.
The presentation is nothing to write home about. Everything looks distinctively low budget, especially the narrow color range leaves a rather weird impression.
