About the Game

THE SKIES ARE YOUR HUNTING GROUND
Pilot the world's most sophisticated aircraft in the flight-sim that started it all. Fly training missions in Arizona's Monument Valley. Dogfight with Russian MiGs over the Pacific. Destroy SAM sites over the Middle East. Thwart a land raid on a vital ally airstrip over Europe.

Developed during the end of the Cold War by the legendary flight sim visionaries at Digital Image Design, F29 Retaliator is a fast and tight-controlling sim featuring speculative versions of the F-22 and the imagined F-29 based on DID's research into aircraft expected to arrive in the next century.

Features

  • Four battle environments with dozens of tactical missions, with air-to-air and air-to-ground combat
  • Over 100 multiple objective campaigns - all based on actual geopolitical scenarios
  • Advance weaponry to deploy, including the speculative AIM-9X backward-firing Sidewinder.
  • Three endings to unlock
