The briefing

About this game

ATF: Advanced Tactical Fighter is an action-focused flight game set during a war between two unnamed factions over an unnamed island. You pilot a Lockheed ATF fighter bomber and must destroy a set number of strategic targets in each round.

Target positions are displayed on the jet’s onboard computer and can be tackled in any order. Alongside combat, you must maintain a steady speed to avoid crashing while managing limited fuel and ammunition. When supplies or health are low and you are near a friendly base, an automatic landing sequence can refill and repair the aircraft.

Enemy jets can be engaged directly, or you can fly low to avoid detection. The camera remains fixed behind the aircraft.
