MiG-29: Fighter Pilot Overview
MiG-29: Fighter Pilot is a combat flight simulation set in the Middle East. The player assumes the role of a pilot operating the Russian aircraft to complete strategic objectives for a coalition force opposing a rogue general.
Gameplay involves manually operating various aircraft systems, which are represented on a detailed control panel. These systems include functions for navigation, engine management, and deploying countermeasures against missiles. The aircraft is armed with multiple weapons and features an automatic targeting aid.
Progress is structured around a series of specific missions following an introductory tutorial. These assignments involve diverse tactical goals such as protecting allied assets and eliminating key enemy installations. Player performance is quantitatively measured by the destruction of opposing forces and structures.
For its time, the Sega Genesis title was notable for its use of real-time 3D polygon visuals and the inclusion of brief full-motion video sequences.
