Description
When you climb into the cockpit of the F-16 Fighting Falcon, get set for the "flight of your life" as the powerful FALCON F-16 takes you streaking across the sky at Mach 2. Accurate weapons system, head-up-displays, cockpit controls, and overall flight characteristics make this the ultimate in simulations. The enemy MiGs you encounter are resourceful and very skilled.

Whether you are a novice pilot or a real "top gun" FALCON is for you! 3-D graphic images of buildings, forests, freeways, and bridges flash by as you fly at the speed of sound only 150 feet above the deck. Take out bridges, power stations, tanks, airfields, and SAM sites. Even fly with an F-16 wingman as you take on one of the many daring missions.

"Sweaty palms" and a pounding heart are normal occurrences during dogfight engagements in FALCON. Mastering the most effective use of your heat-seeking missiles, Maverick missiles, bombs and cannon systems will determine your destiny. The MiG-21's will be merciless. FALCON - you won't believe it!

Quite unplayable

It doesn't come with the Manual or Keys, but I found them. The performance out of the box is quite bad, I had to tweak it a bit. The graphics are quite bad: objects don't show until they are quite close. The CGA palette is very bad, you won't be able to see the instruments easily (I play other flight sims with a CGA palette, and they are fine). However, if you find the Tandy version from the game as I did, you will enjoy a much better game. But both versions, CGA and Tandy, have a problem with FPS. The game is too slow. The sound with CGA is bad (PC Speaker). If you find the Tandy version it becomes quite ok. It has static missions and the game doesn't remember what you destroyed between missions. It has little replay value. At least it has several difficulty levels. The controls are quite bad, unresponsible, but with good ideas. It doesn't have the mission disk (they weren't released for DOS, only for Amiga and Atari ST). Go for another flight simulator unless you feel curious or you want to collect all of them. This maybe, the worst one to play today. You can improve it a bit by using the Tandy version. The Amiga / Atari ST version are much better, much better control, fps, graphics, sounds and replay value.

Flight sims do not age well...

6 of 5 must play. 5 of 5 great story great gameplay. 4 of 5 great story average gameplay. 3 of 5 average story average gameplay. 2 of 5 play only if it's your favorite genre. 1 of 5 play if you have nothing better to do. 0 of 5 play if you're a masochist. -1 of 5 avoid. Falcon score is -1 of 5.
