F-117A - Stealth Fighter on NES is one of those games that makes you feel like a top-secret badass—until you crash into a mountain because the controls are a bit janky. You’re flying this sleek, angular stealth jet (which, let’s be honest, looks like a flying paperclip by NES standards), dodging enemy radar and blowing up targets before they even see you coming. The missions start simple—take off, shoot a few things, land—but things get chaotic fast when missiles start homing in from every direction.

The coolest part? The cockpit view actually feels tense, with your radar blipping and that weird, synth-heavy soundtrack making every near-miss feel dramatic. Just don’t expect modern flight sim realism—this is pure arcade-style action where the fun is in barely scraping by. And yeah, landing is still weirdly satisfying, even if you bounce like a drunken pigeon half the time.

If you’re into retro flight games, this one’s a solid time capsule—just maybe pair it with Pilotwings to balance out the frustration. The controls take some getting used to, but once it clicks, there’s something weirdly addictive about sneaking through enemy airspace in a pixelated death triangle.
