The briefing

About this game

Arcade Flight Simulator is a bird's-eye-view flight combat game released in 1988. It features three scenarios: flying a biplane over Germany during WW1, a WW2 aircraft over Pearl Harbour, and a fighter plane in WW3.

Gameplay

Players control the group captain and must destroy enemy aircraft and bases. After clearing the enemy planes, return to base to collect a bomb, then fly back into enemy territory and drop it on the enemy headquarters.

Fuel management is essential. To refuel, fly at low altitude over a fuel dump. The game provides three lives, with controls for direction and altitude.
