Introduce
In Stealth ATF, players take on the role of an elite pilot controlling the advanced F-117 Nighthawk stealth bomber. Your primary mission is to undertake covert operations, flying deep into enemy territory to destroy strategic targets without being detected.
The gameplay of Stealth ATF heavily focuses on stealth and tactics. You're not just about shooting; you must carefully plan your flight path to avoid enemy anti-aircraft radar systems. A radar screen displays your position and enemy radar stations, requiring you to constantly adjust your altitude and heading to maintain stealth.
The game features various missions, each with unique objectives and terrain. You'll need to utilize different types of weaponry, primarily bombs, to destroy structures, factories, or military bases. Aiming and dropping bombs require precision, especially when flying at high speeds.
Players can switch between multiple camera views in Stealth ATF. A third-person view from behind the aircraft helps you survey the environment and potential threats. Additionally, there's a cockpit view that offers a more immersive experience, displaying vital information such as speed, altitude, and stealth status. The sound and visual effects, though simple on the NES, contribute to the tense atmosphere of a secret mission.
Success in Stealth ATF demands patience, the ability to read the radar map, and good piloting skills. It's a challenging title suitable for those who enjoy flight simulation and tactical gameplay.
