Gameplay※
The player controls a Sea Harrier fighter, looking sideways onto a right-to-left scrolling seascape and "landscape." The aim of the "game is to take off from a carrier," attack ships and land targets, "avoid the occasional missile and enemy fighter," then land back on the carrier again. Although the game was a work of fiction, it was inspired by the 1982 Falklands War, in which the Sea Harrier had played a major role.
