Jet Fighter puts the players in the middle of a split-second one-on-one air battle. The object being to hit your opponent more times than they hit you in the specified time frame. You get a point every time you hit your opponent and vice versa. When hit, your plane spins around and an explosion noise is heard. After a few seconds, the plane recovers then flies off in another random direction ready to fire again.
|
||||
|
||||
Developped by Lyle Rains, Jet Fighter seems to be based (hardware and gameplay) on the arcade hit [Tank](/software/tank/) released the same year.
|
||||
|
||||
The game can be played with two players or against the computer, a feature not that common in 1975! Display is in black and white with a colour overlays on which are painted clouds.
|
||||
|
||||
Jet Fighter inspired one of the variations of the famous [Atari 2600](/museum/atari-vcs-2600/) cartridge: Combat.
