Who developed the F-19 Stealth Fighter simulator?
F-19 Stealth Fighter was developed by MicroProse and originally released in 1988 for MS-DOS. It was designed by legendary simulator creator Sid Meier alongside Andy Hollis.
What was the difference between the F-19 Stealth Fighter and the actual F-117 Nighthawk?
Because the real F-117 Nighthawk was still highly classified in 1988, MicroProse had to use their imagination to design the fictional F-19. The game designers created a sleek, curvy aircraft that looked entirely different from the actual stealth fighter, which was later revealed to the public.
How did the Cold War setting affect gameplay in F-19 Stealth Fighter?
The game takes place during the Cold War, requiring players to fly espionage missions into hostile territories like the Soviet Union, North Korea, and the Persian Gulf. Players had to manage their radar cross-section and avoid detection by enemy SAM sites to successfully complete their mission objectives.
Are there any modern remakes or sequels to F-19 Stealth Fighter?
MicroProse released a sequel in 1990 titled F-19 Stealth Fighter II which updated the graphics and added a campaign during the Desert Storm conflict. The game engine and style were eventually succeeded by F-117A Nighthawk Stealth Fighter 2.0, which incorporated the real-world aircraft after it was declassified.
