Jet Fighter (video game)


Jet Fighter is a 2 player arcade game by Atari, originally released in 1975.

Technology

The game is housed in a custom cabinet that includes two 8-way joysticks meant to look like older style flight sticks. Each stick has a fire button mounted on the top.

Gameplay

The players fly in simulated jets around the screen, engaging in a dogfight and attempting to score hits on their opponent within a limited amount of time. When a player is hit, their plane spins around and an explosion is heard. After a few seconds, the plane recovers, pointing at a random direction.
