@Ticalmc2k2 I actually think that was the real problem. It was "too" innovative and complex for its time. The consoles of that era, as well as the technology in general were just not quite ready to for a game like this.
I remember this game... I remember my parents even got me the joy stick controller for Christmas one year. This along with StarFox64 influenced my interest in aviation... Im in the Air Force now. go figure lol
Sorry Mark, but I have to disagree with you. I didn't think this game was clunky at all. In fact I found it very playable, and easier than most other flight sims I tried *cough* Stealth ATF *cough* and not so boring *cough* F-15 Strike Eagle II *cough*. I liked it so much I just bought a copy of my own.
Takes me back to the innocent days of being a 8/9/10 year old over a decade ago playing this game and the Sega Mega Drive. Memories can be so perfect!
This game was so boring yet so fun at the same time. I got this for Christmas and my cousin got StarFox and we always argued about which one had better graphics lol
The fps was nearly 2! And we still played the ish out of this when we were young! And Im proud of it! The first time I died on the table gave me nightmares for weeks! That fuzzy lookin' skull? Yeesh....
@coneyislanddiscomark well who has good imagination...no matter how good machine you have...you won't be in real flight ship...so is funny for who grown up with a poor system.
I don't agree with the reviewer that the game handled sluggish. I played it with the Python joystick which made the handling fine. There was an option menu (b+c like mentioned around 4:30) where you could tweak the framerate a bit too. I played this game a lot when I was a kid :)
I played and still have this game. I have the old LHX game for PC and the F-19 with the F-117 option for PC. This game is a lot like LHX in terms of graphics. F-19 is much worse in terms of graphics and sound and isn't playable in that you won't enjoy achieving a mission. The plane is barely recognizable with wings and fins made up of blocks. This game F-22 is playable. Never understood why they had those weird colors on the plane. Microsoft Spaceflight Simulator was the standard for 1995.
no wonder this game slows down,it uses realtime polygons,trough if the polygons were rendered,the game will have run way more smoother,but animated 3d takes up more space.
I thought it was a good game, I always thought the sluggish controls was just how hard it was to fly the plane. I loved the secret menus that were impossible to get to. I forgot Genesis even had full 3D games.
Eh, I played the shit out of this game when I was little. But it must have been the other version because it ran way smoother than the one in the video and was on this ENORMOUS cartridge with "EOA" engraved on it and a little removable yellow thingy on the side.
I remember other games also had enormous cartriges, for some reason Shadow Of The Beast also had one.
@CatsBunniesDucksMice yeah, that cartridge is an ea cartridge, not just bigger in size but also space it seems...must be if it ran smoother than a normal cartridge
For someone who has supposedly spent a time with F-19 stealth fighter I am stunned how badly you treat this game. It has its own style and love just like F-19 (Yes F-19 was a bunch more realistic but still)
Man this takes me back. I played this game a lot when I was a kid. I remember how satisfying it was when one of your missiles hit the target :D, great stuff.
I am reminded of another early 1990s PC flight-combat game that I used to enjoy, Jetfighter II, which not only jumped the gun on the in-service date of the plane it used, but backed the wrong horse in the competition between the F-22 and the Northrop F-23.
The plane in Jetfighter II was the Northrop F-23 which was not selected by the Air Force (beat out by the F-22) and never went into production.
When I mean solid, I mean a, good, playable framerate. Now I have an idea why this game gets mixed reviews. Some play the standard, boxy, EA cart.
Others play the slimmed sega cart.
I think the official Sega cart has less data, and has more slow-down. They should have just released the regular tabbed carts that do the game justice. Zero Tolerance was a giant game, and it got a giant cart. Afterburner was an arcade game, not a sim.
@shido454 I totally agree, I played this thing to death! Fair enough, the frame rate IS! horrible, but ya gotta give some credit, this was fairly ambitious for the old megadrive
The game may be extremely choppy and slow but at the time is was superb, for a console game it had a ton of functions and extras, stuff that you would only see in DOS at the time.
@wirelessguy1 You do realise this game was made to be nothing like Starfox, right? (or afterburner for that matter) this game also did not use any extra cpu chips or ram, this is raw from the megadrive itself with no fancy extras.
@SpartanDiab and thats why is so slow and the enemies are monotonous? yeah thats what i thought. i've just been a nintendo fan longer than i have been a sega fan, so i'll get into this sooner or later
How could you critcise this game the way you did? It was great fun! Loved the bit when you died and there's a team of surgeons surrounding your body with panic and shock on their faces as your heart monitor stops!
oh my fuck...this was actually a decent flight sim. Not gonna get into it cause it`d just turn into a flame war but this was a good flight sim for the genesis
Ironically, I downloaded this for PC. I've played it on my Genesis for years, loved it! I downloaded it, and because it plays better on a PC, I had trouble! Haha, the hard steering helped me play it on the Genesis!
I spent a lot of time playing this one years back, but could never figure out how to successfully refuel the plane. I usually just ended up running out of gas, or blowing myself and the refueling plane up.
Oh, man, this was one of my favorite games. Just now I remembered how super mega slow it was, and that if u wanna turn then u could break a finger. :)
Unplayable? No, you are just SPOILED! You said it yourself. "I use to play F-15 strike eagle but probably couldn't play it today"
This is polygonal graphics being rendered by a freaking 8Mhz 68000 with 64KB or RAM! Give it and it's creators some credit here. I loved this game as well as other polygonal games of the time like M1 Abrams, and Hard Drivin' on the genesis. If you can't take a step back and review that game as if it just came out in '91, than don't review it at all.
@Outlander11 Dude, Mark is a professional. He plays genesis games like rabbits eats carrots. The creators can put all the effort in the world to this game, but it will never be perfectly playable on the genesis. I mean, try to emulate it and look at the framerate. Learn to live with that.
@Outlander11 He isn't reviewing it like it just came out. Hell, he's comparing it to other Genesis games. It doesn't matter how much credit the creators get, if the Genesis isn't capable of handling this game than it cannot hope to stand the tests of time.
Although it hardly seems much cooler than F-18 Interceptor was when it first came in 1988 on Amiga, F-22 doesn't look too shabby if you wan't some technically 'advanced' crap for the Mega Drive, I suppose :P
True, this game was real crap. But I kept playing it for one reason - the F22. It was a very cool looking plane.
When I first heard about it being a REAL jet fighter a few years ago, I was stoked. And when it was featured in Transformers... Well, you get the idea.
Wow this brings back memories of the all the genesis era simulators. 688 attack sub (actually that was a decent game) LHX attack chopper, and M1 Abrams. They were actual attempts at the simulation genre on consoles which is pretty rare these days. Of course if you had a pc you had it made, but if your parents didn't want to buy you a PC this fit the nitch.
wow, a real polygon-based 3d game for the genesis. no wonder that it has sluggish gameplay. this game should have been released on snes with an fx-chip
I believe that this game was ahead of it's time. I think if the makers of this game would've waited until the Dreamcast came out the game would've been much better.
Actually F-15 and F-19 for the PC had very smooth gameplay even on slower computers, a lot (and I mean a LOT) smoother than this. I also remember the controls to be surprisingly responsive and the gameplay to be really enjoyable. This thing looks more like a flight simulator on the commodore 64.
you know that's why they put the super FX chip in Super Star Fox.... witch is a game you REALLY should review for the super nintendo entertainment system... PLEASE REVIEW IT PLEASE!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This game should have been called Super Cheese!! The music sounds like lame porn music! The enemies eject with paracutes??? Air Raiders was pretty cool back in the day. Good review!
I have to disagree with this review. This is one of the best "flight" games on the Genesis, and I whole lot better than Air Diver. In Air Diver, every stage feels the same, but one has a lot more variety.
No. That was the genesis first model. In countries like Britain or generally overseas, it was called the sega mega drive, and the USA had the genesis, exactly the same but the genesis was grey and the mega drive was red i do believe, i have the mega drive as im English, which also had 2 models.

You might get to a more playable framerate on an overclocked console, though in this case, I'm not sure that wouldn't screw up the Z80's coprocessing arrangement.
Not too bad a game, probably the best of the type on the console, a lot better than F-15 Strike Eagle II, or Mig 29, maybe EA's LHX as well. (and Hard Drivin/Race' Drivin')
Probably in part due to the fact that F-22 was a genesis exclusive an not a port, optimizing it pretty well, even with 3-button controlls. (though 6-button enhanced controlls would have been nice)
Also note, EA used the Genesis's Z80 as a coprocessor in tandem to help with some of the processing requirements.
I used to love this game. It's actually really innovative and complex for its time.

I believe that this game was ahead of it's time. I think if the makers of this game would've waited until the Dreamcast came out the game would've been much better.

Actually F-15 and F-19 for the PC had very smooth gameplay even on slower computers, a lot (and I mean a LOT) smoother than this. I also remember the controls to be surprisingly responsive and the gameplay to be really enjoyable. This thing looks more like a flight simulator on the commodore 64.

I want to see this game run on an overclocked Genesis!
F-22 Interceptor was really ahead of it's time, and it is unfortunate that it came out so early, before Sega's SVP chip.
I have played this game until my thumbs hurt, long before the wonderful Ace Combat series on the Playstation.

That's an idea, with the overclock. I need to get that done...

I definitely will. It'll be a video showing two machines, side by side, playing the same game normal and OC. It'll be great.

when was the F22 came to place, i mean when was a simulation or model of the F22 started?
Cause the one on this game Looks like an F22-Raptor and this game was on 1991...
hmm time to check Wiki lol..

Virtua Racing on the Megadrive/Genesis had a special chip and had amazing 3D graphics for its time.. I feel this game should have had it as well.
Afterburner is not a valid comparison because its not true 3D and is really a 2D sprite game.

I have to disagree with this review. This is one of the best "flight" games on the Genesis, and I whole lot better than Air Diver. In Air Diver, every stage feels the same, but one has a lot more variety.

No. That was the genesis first model. In countries like Britain or generally overseas, it was called the sega mega drive, and the USA had the genesis, exactly the same but the genesis was grey and the mega drive was red i do believe, i have the mega drive as im English, which also had 2 models.
bongmygong1991 2 years ago
Canada and North America had never a Mega Drive, they had a Genesis, the smaller model was called Genesis 2.
Japan, Europe, Australia and Brazil had the Mega Drive and the smaller one was called Mega Drive 2 (which I own)

Not the programmers fault. The genesis just didn't have the CPU power to do a polygon game like this.

You might get to a more playable framerate on an overclocked console, though in this case, I'm not sure that wouldn't screw up the Z80's coprocessing arrangement.
koolkitty8989 2 years ago
Not too bad a game, probably the best of the type on the console, a lot better than F-15 Strike Eagle II, or Mig 29, maybe EA's LHX as well. (and Hard Drivin/Race' Drivin')
Probably in part due to the fact that F-22 was a genesis exclusive an not a port, optimizing it pretty well, even with 3-button controlls. (though 6-button enhanced controlls would have been nice)
Also note, EA used the Genesis's Z80 as a coprocessor in tandem to help with some of the processing requirements.
