F-19 Stealth Fighter

The 1988 Microprose computer air-combat simulation game about a fictional United States military aircraft. During the time of the game's release there was heavy speculation surrounding a missing aircraft in the Air Force's numbering system, the F-19.

In the game, you take on the role of a fictional fighter pilot flying missions of varying difficulty over four geographic locations: Libya, the Persian Gulf, the North Cape, and Central Europe.

The game was later updated with a corrected aircraft model once the F-117 Nighthawk was declassified and with 256-color VGA graphics instead of the original's 16-color EGA, among other changes. This revision was numbered 2.0, as it was clearly an update of the earlier work instead of a wholly new project.

Regrettably, to this date no studio has ever embarked on an effort to make a similar simulation with today's technologies.
