F29 Retaliator Digital Image Design, 1989

F29 Retaliator 1989

F29 Retaliator is a 16 bit combat flight simulator coded by Digital Image Design for the Amiga, Atari ST and MS-DOS PCs (1989-1991).

In F29 Retaliator, the player can choose to pilot the Lockheed F-22 Advanced Tactical Fighter or the Grumman F-29 Next Generation Tactical Fighter.

While not necessarily the best flight sim on ST/Amiga, F29 Retaliator had the smoothest vector graphics out of the ones I played on stock A500s/520 STs from 1987-1993. Even on IBM PCs, F-29 Retaliator's engine was the polygon-pusher until the advent of Falcon 3.0.

The player can choose from four scenarios (locations), and there are 90 missions in total.
