F-16 Combat Pilot

F-16 Combat Pilot throws you into the sleek, agile Fighting Falcon and says, “Good luck, pilot,” before pushing you straight into the chaos of modern air warfare. What sets this game apart is its dynamic campaign, where missions unfold in an ongoing conflict rather than as isolated scenarios. Your actions actually matter, and the war won’t politely wait for you to get comfortable.
The F-16 itself is a joy to fly—fast, responsive, and deadly when handled well. You’ll be juggling air-to-air combat, ground attacks, and reconnaissance while trying not to become a smoking crater. The game manages to be both strategic and adrenaline-fueled, which is no small feat. It’s a demanding experience, but one that rewards commitment. If you like your flight sims with a side of long-term consequences, F-16 Combat Pilot delivers.

F-16 Combat Pilot review

Zero Magazine Issue 01 (1990): "This is the one that came out hot on the heels of Falcon and inevitable comparisons were drawn, with most critics coming down on the side of the Mirrorsoft/Spectrum Holobyte game. At first I agreed with this - but having played Combat Pilot for a while, now I'm not so sure.
The game (sorry, simulation) is very much the same as in Falcon. You're in charge of an F-16, and you have to select missions and armaments and build up flying hours and 'kills'. It's the implementation that's so different - and, in some respects, rather annoying."

Retro gamer collector's corner:

Digital Integration repackaged and released the game in 1994 under Action Sixteen publishing label after fixing the compatibility issue with Amiga 1200 computers, however the 14-MHz processor of the system ran the game faster than real-time.
