Airport Shootout Overview
Airport Shootout was one of those straightforward first-person shooters you'd find during the Flash era. It didn't try to be more than it was, a simple browser game you could jump into for a few minutes between other tasks. The premise was clear from the start.
You control a special forces operative viewed from a static position. Your only job is to aim and shoot terrorists as they appear from behind pillars and doorways in an airport terminal. You use the mouse to move the crosshair and left-click to fire. When your pistol runs dry, you press R to reload, a brief moment of vulnerability. The goal is to kill every enemy on screen to progress, with the pacing quickening as more targets emerge from different angles. It feels like a tense, reactive test of your aim and timing under a steady increase of pressure.
