Gameplay
Gameplay
F-16 Aggressor is a game in which a flight simulation features a fly-by-wire system and models the F-16's flight systems, weapons, and g-forces. Missions and instant-action scenarios for modern combat in this game often involve long-range missile engagements rather than traditional dogfighting. Since a single missile can destroy most targets — including the player's aircraft — mastering evasive techniques is crucial.
Development
Development
The game was announced in May 1998 by Virgin Interactive. In January 1999, Bethesda Softworks acquired the US publishing rights to the game. The title was developed by General Simulations Incorporated, a company founded initially as Virtek International in 1993.

Reception
The game received average reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings. Adam Pavlacka of NextGen said, "F-16 Aggressor deserves high praise as a pure simulator. It accurately depicts the F-16, and it runs on an average system. If you want to train as a pilot, it's terrific. If you're looking for an enjoyable combat experience, however, look elsewhere."
