Stealth ATF (NES) Playthrough

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 (), but with a greater focus on realism
