Air Combat

Air Combat is a combat flight simulation game presented in an arcade -like format. The player controls one of sixteen different aircraft, including the F-4 Phantom , Su-27 Flanker , and Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk , and must complete each of the game's seventeen levels, each having mission objectives that must be fulfilled. Missions range from destroying a squadron of enemies, protecting an allied base from enemy fire, or destroying a massive battleship. Completing missions awards the player money, which can be used to purchase new aircraft in their own personal hangar.

Extra money can also be earned by destroying optional, "non-target" enemies. Beginning at the game's fourth mission, a wingman can be employed that will help protect the player and fight alongside them. Additional wingmen can be hired by earning additional money during combat. The game progresses in a linear format.

Alongside the main single-player campaign, there is also a split-screen multiplayer deathmatch mode, where two players attempt to destroy each other in the quickest time possible. Players can also unlock new aircraft and special minigames by completing specific objectives at various points throughout the game. Players can also swap between a first-person and third-person camera option.
