Air Combat

Air Combat is the first game of the Ace Combat series. It is a combat flight game in which you play a freelance mercenary pilot who hires out his combat skills to corporations and governments, striking against terrorists in exchange for cash for weapons and upgrades. The game progresses through a series of linear missions, and the missions get harder as you proceed. The money you earn for completing each mission is used to purchase additional aircraft and arms, and you can also hire wingmen to make the going easier. The game has a two player split screen deathmatch mode plus a series of extras like hidden planes and mini-games. Air Combat was developed by Namco and released for the original PlayStation in 1995. It is classed as a shooter and a flight simulator with an action theme, and it can be played from a first person or a third person view. The game can be played alone or against a second player on the same screen.
