The groundbreaking F/A-18 Interceptor, a 1988 Amiga original from Electronic Arts and Intellisoft. The perfect blending of simulation and arcade, showing off the Amiga at its best. It was a pack-in title in both America and Europe, likely selling countless computers. Fly under the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, land on the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier, even protect Air Force One. Set in an alternative 1994 on the brink of war, it's still a blast to play to this day. Shown here in its original NTSC speed and 4:3 aspect ratio.
