About The Game

Air Combat is a cockpit flying game from Namco that tries to simulate an F-16-like aircraft. The game mainly involves dog fighting and has three levels of play; Cadet, Captain and Ace.

Trivia

Even if titlescreen says 1992, Air Combat was released in June 1993 in Japan.

Note : You never die in this game! Instead you eject from the aircraft giving you a non-violent ending.

Victor Entertainment released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Namco Video Game Graffiti Vol.10 - VICL-40097, 40098) on 16/12/1993.
