F-29 Retaliator

F-29 Retaliator is a flight simulator created in 1991 by Digital Image Design for Ocean. The player will play the role of the pilot of two experimental machines: Lockheed F-22 Advanced Tactical Fighter and Grunman F-29.

Today we know very well what the F-22 looks like, but at the time when Digital Image Design was working on this production, nothing was known about the American Air Force aircraft - hence its futuristic and different from the real look. Slightly better situation was with the X-29, which was already shown at that time, so that programmers and graphic designers did not have to speculate about its capabilities and appearance.

The game is divided into four parts. In the first of them we will carry out a series of training missions to familiarize us with the capabilities of both planes and their control in the air. In this phase of the game we fly over the area of the base of experimental planes, located in Arizona. The second scenario takes us to the Pacific, where as many as 27 combat missions await us, in which we will usually destroy various targets - not only airborne, but also ground ones. The last campaign will take place in the Middle East, where a large number of missions are also available - as many as 26. In the final we will face our opponents in Europe. Here the authors passed by themselves and served as many as 41 combat tasks to the hungry pilots. All in all, it gives more than a hundred missions, which are not very different from each other, but certainly exploit the possibilities of gameplay to the limits of possibilities.
