Flying around and shooting things can be great fun, but recent games like F-18 Thunderstrike and Wing Commander have been rather disappointing. Airforce Delta is a great improvement over these, adopting an arcade feel to the game and making it extremely simple. The fast-flowing Eighties arcade-style action offers a completely different Game Boy experience, one that is at least quite playable and even enjoyable for a short while!

There are four difficulty settings to challenge your flying skills and loads o different aircraft to use. Each level has different missions with ground and airborne targets, and there's no shortage of ammo, so keep your finger on the button. The graphics scroll forward giving it a slight Space Harrier feel (an ancient Eighties arcade classic for those too young to remember).

Airforce Delta is an enjoyable game that has made considerable improvements over all the previous flying flops!
