Terminal Case Go to this British-based retailer’s URL, enter “Hong Kong” as a search term, and order Microsoft’s Ultimate Hong Kong flight-simulator game for your PC in which Hong Kong is depicted in hyper detail—and so is the knuckle-whitening Kai Tak landing, along with 67 other scenic flights over the territory. Fasten seat belts, please.
