Stealth ATF is a combat flight simulator released for the NES in 1989. Developed by Imagineering and published by Activision, the game puts you in the cockpit of the F-117 Nighthawk. You fly a series of global combat missions, engaging enemy aircraft in dogfights and executing takeoffs and landings from land bases and aircraft carriers.
How to Play
Your objective is to complete sorties by shooting down enemy fighters using your machine guns and missiles, while managing your damage. A key mechanic is your stealth capability, which lets you temporarily vanish from enemy radar to avoid attacks. The standard NES controls map to your keyboard: use the Arrow keys to maneuver the aircraft, Z to fire your machine guns, and X to launch missiles. Press Enter to start the game or pause during flight.
Tips
- Pay close attention to your radar to track enemy fighters and line up your approaches before they get behind you.
- Conserve your limited missiles for difficult encounters; your machine guns are effective but require much closer range and precision.
- During takeoff and landing, small adjustments to your pitch are crucial, as overcorrecting will quickly lead to a crash.
