F-117A Nighthawk Stealth Fighter 2.0

Bought this in a bundle with a bunch of other Microprose games and just like most of them this one is super old and incredibly hard to get into. Is it just difficult in general? Well I don't ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ know I couldn't get the plane off of the ground. The manual says press shift and + together to raise your engine power and I do that and ♥♥♥♥ all happens. I did get the plane in the air before but I don't remember how I did it. If the manual is giving me the wrong button combination then well idk what to do. +I do like how old games look and sound. This one has that going for it. -I don't remember how to get the plane in the air and the buttons in the manual don't do anything. Just like most of these older games its incredibly hard to know what you're doing, you can't easily access any settings to change stuff i don't even know if a settings menu exists.

This was among the first detailed flight simulators I played in my early teens (now weeks away from 50 years of age), and fondly remember the hours I racked up flying various missions on a 5 1/4 inch floppy disc. The emphasis was not turn-n-burn arcade antics, it was slipping in silently, blowing something up, and escaping undetected. I had to put thought into how to best accomplish the mission, and it was highly engaging. I’m happy to say it’s just as much fun now, some 35 years later, as it was back then. Go ahead and blow the six bucks on this and recapture the magic!
