F-117A Stealth Fighter
F-117A is a flight simulator featuring the U.S. Air Force's Stealth Fighter. Although you only fly one aircraft in the game, there are numerous mission options. There are nine different areas of conflict which each vary in difficulty (Persian Gulf, North Cape, Libya, Central Europe, Middle East, Desert Storm, Vietnam, Cuba and Korea.) The current state of conflict (cold, conventional, or limited war) affects the readiness of the enemy. Missions fall into three different types: air-to-air, air-to-ground and training. Other features include multiple in and out of cockpit views, ongoing pilot records, night missions, and a post-mission debrief which charts the progress of the mission on a map of the theater.

F-117A Stealth Fighter was the follow-up to Microprose's first stealth fighter simulator F-19 Stealth Fighter. F-117A used information from the Gulf War to update the educated guesses made in the design of the original stealth fighter program. F-117A's emphasis on atmosphere and action rather than strict realism followed in the footsteps of the earlier Microprose titles like Gunship, Knights of the Sky, and F-15 Strike Eagle II.
