Jet Fighter

Jet Fighter is a shooter video game released for arcades in 1975 by Atari, Inc. under both the Atari and Kee Jogos brands. It was distributed in Japan by Nakamura Seisakusho (Namco).

Technology

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

Jogabilidade

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.

Legacy

• A home console port was included in the Atari 2600 game cartridge Combat.
• Dogfight by Microlab for Apple II.
