Stealth ATF is one of those NES flight sims that feels arcade-y but still makes you sweat when enemy jets start swarming. You're basically thrown into the cockpit of a fighter plane with one job: blow everything out of the sky before it does the same to you. The controls are tight—banking, rolling, and lining up shots feels surprisingly good for an 8-bit game.
At first, it seems simple—just chase the red blips on radar—but then you realize enemy pilots actually dodge and weave like they’ve got a death wish. The dogfights get intense, especially when missiles start flying and you’re desperately trying to shake one off your tail. And yeah, the explosions are pixelated as hell, but there’s something satisfying about watching a plane erupt into a tiny fireball.
If you dig this, 1943 - The Battle of Midway is another solid pick—same adrenaline, just with more WWII vibes. Controls are straightforward: arrows for movement, Z/X for firing, and space to pause when you need a breather. Just don’t expect to last long on your first few runs.
