Gameplay
Gameplay
The player controls a Sea Harrier fighter, flying to the right over a scrolling seascape and landscape viewed from the side. The goals are to take off from a carrier, attack ships and land targets, avoid the occasional missile and enemy fighter, then land back on the carrier again. Although the game is a work of fiction, it was inspired by the 1982 Falklands War, in which the Sea Harrier played a major role.
