Item Description
When F-22 Interceptor came out in 1991, the plane it put you in barely existed. The Lockheed YF-22 prototype had made its first flight only the year before, so Ned Lerner and Gene Kusmiak's Genesis sim let players fly tomorrow's fighter long before the real Raptor entered service. That forward-looking idea, rendered in 3D polygons on a 16-bit console, made it one of the most ambitious flight games of the Genesis's early years.
Choose from three skill levels, Cadet, Training and Combat, and four campaigns set over the United States, Korea, Iraq and Russia, then get to work. Surface-to-air missiles, artillery and enemy aircraft, from several MiG types to helicopters, stand between you and objectives that usually mix air and ground targets such as tanks and structures. Your arsenal runs from heat-seeking Sidewinders to Maverick missiles and precision-guided bombs, with chaff to shake incoming missiles and cannons for close work. The job isn't done when the targets are: you still have to bring the jet home to a runway or an aircraft carrier, sometimes after an in-flight refuel to keep from running dry.
Finish the four campaigns and an Aces campaign opens up, pitting you against elite pilots from each theater, and a basic mission editor lets you design your own sorties. There's a clever two-player option as well: a second controller lets a friend handle targeting while you fly, turning the cockpit into a pilot-and-copilot partnership on the couch.
British magazines loved it. MegaTech called it absolutely fantastic, and Mega ranked it 30th among the best Mega Drive games of all time. Ned Lerner's studio, Lerner Research, would soon merge with Blue Sky Productions to form Looking Glass Technologies, the team behind System Shock and Thief, which makes this cartridge an intriguing early chapter for PC-gaming history buffs and a showcase of how far early Genesis developers pushed 3D.

You can also challenge aces from each theater and design custom missions. To complete a mission, you usually have to destroy both ground and air targets, including several MiG types, helicopters and tanks in addition to ground structures. Use realistic weapons like Sidewinder and Maverick missiles.
