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

American version of Activision's air-combat game, released in 1993 deep into the NES's twilight. More common than the PAL edition, it remains a record of Activision's final Western NES releases before withdrawing from the platform. Its value rests mainly on that late timing, the title itself having left little mark; interest centers on complete copies, scarcer than the bare carts that circulate widely.
