Stealth ATF (NES) Playthrough

Описание: A playthrough of Activision's 1989 combat flight simulator for the NES, Stealth ATF.

I fly fifteen missions in this playthrough, playing until I get a game over. The missions loop after the eighth, so there is no ending.

Stealth ATF is a military-style combat flight sim that plunks you, a novice fighter pilot, down in the cockpit of an F-117 Nighthawk, the titular "advanced tactical fighter". After completing a quick training session, you'll be sent around the world in a series of late Cold War-era missions that'll help you climb your way through the ranks.

Each of these sorties play out the same way: after the briefing, you take off, wipe out the incoming enemy fighters with a mix of dogfighting and missile fire (and, if you clear all the enemies without taking any damage, play a bonus round), and finally, return to base to safely land the plane.

The game plays a lot like Konami's Top Gun (   • Top Gun (NES) Playthrough  ), but with a greater focus on realism. The controls are extremely smooth once you get used to the feel of banking and tracking enemy jets, and the AI does a nice job at providing a challenge without making things feel too impossible. The graphics and sound are simple but effective, the music is catchy, and the entire package comes together quite nicely.

Imagineering was one of the best when it came to military-style combat sims for the NES, and Stealth ATF is my favorite of the ones they made. If you can look beyond the limitations that the 8-bit hardware places on it, you'll find a lot of fun here.
