F-19 Stealth Fighter MicroProse

F-19 Stealth Fighter is a 16 bit combat flight simulator designed by Sid Meier and coded by MicroProse for MS-DOS, Amiga and Atari ST microcomputers (1988-1990).

Successor to Jim Synoski's Project Stealth Fighter of 1987 on the Commodore 64, F-19 Stealth Fighter took four years to develop.

In F-19 Stealth Fighter, the player can choose to pilot the Lockheed Martin F-19 or F-117A Nighthawk stealth fighter aircraft.

As the most complex and fleshed out flight sim of its era, F-19 Stealth Fighter features three levels of conflict and four scenarios, totalling hundreds of missions.

Along with F-16 Fighting Falcon, this was my fave flight sim of the late 80s, early 90s. In my opinion Falcon and F-19 were also the best flight sims of that era.

F-19 Stealth Fighter MS-DOS Version

At the time, the MS-DOS version ran well on i80386 processors with 384 KB RAM. Requiring 256 KB video memory, the MS-DOS version displayed in 16-color EGA graphics mode. F-19 Stealth Fighter also ran on Amigas 500s and Atari 520 STs, though not as smoothly as on the 386.
