An early Sega flight shooter on a Sega Card, and a cheap one in the US.

F-16 Fighting Falcon was released in Japan on 22 December 1985, in North America in October 1986 and in Europe in October 1987. Video Games & Computer Entertainment described it in 1989 as a game with a first-person cockpit view, in the same group as After Burner.

What the press said at the time

Mean Machines Sega Issue 3

December 1992

OVERALL 48%

“This looks pretty impressive, but unfortunately suf¬ fers from very bland gameplay. Just fly the epony¬ mous FI6 Fighter against the swarms of enemy air¬ craft and blow them up to keep in the game. The graphics and sound are average, and the gameplay soon becomes dull. Avoid it.”
— Mean Machines Sega, December 1992

Before you buy

There are three releases: the US cart, the European cart and the Japanese cart. The European cart usually costs a little less loose and about the same complete. The Japanese cart costs much more, loose and complete, and it is a different, smaller shape that does not fit a Western console without an adapter. This game is released on a Sega Card, which plugs into the card slot, and the Master System II has no card slot. The US cart is cheap and the look-alike risk is low. A box with text in five to eight languages is European, not American. A reader letter in Video Games & Computer Entertainment in July 1990 reported that the Power Base Converter instructions list this game as unusable with the converter.
