Super Hornet FA 18F on the GBA is one of those games that makes you forget you're holding a tiny handheld. The second you take off, you're wrestling with tight controls—not in a bad way, but in that "oh, this jet actually has weight to it" kind of way. Missiles come at you fast, and banking hard to avoid them feels way more satisfying than it should on a 2D screen.

What surprised me was how much they squeezed into this cart. You’ve got different mission types—escort, dogfights, even bombing runs—and the pixel art somehow makes clouds and explosions look decent. First time I played, I crashed trying to show off with a barrel roll. Learned my lesson.

If you’re into flight games, this one’s a solid pick for short bursts. Just don’t expect a sim—it’s arcadey in the best possible way.
