A pseudo-3D NES air combat, ambitious for 1993 but technically limited. Readable maneuvers, decent sense of speed, repetitive missions. A curious late-cycle attempt at a graphical boost.

Collector interest

European edition of this Activision air-combat simulator, kept exclusively PAL in 1993. By that point in the NES lifespan, European print runs were already very small, with attention turning to the Mega Drive and SNES, making this trilingual cartridge (English, French, German) harder to find complete than its American counterpart. A late-life title whose scarcity stems from timing rather than acclaim.
