About MIG-29 Fighter Pilot
MiG-29: Fighter Pilot is a successor to MiG-29 Fulcrum by Simis; this time the theater of operations is the Middle East. The joined forces of NATO and the Commonwealth of Soviet States are to stop General Hasouz who is seeking to gain control over the world's oil resources. You are the pilot of the Russian-built MiG-29 and you need to accomplish several strategic missions to ensure the success of the operation. As this is a simulation game, the MiG-29's control panel is recreated (displaying altimeter, compass, thrust indicator, radar and more), and many actions are done manually by the player (such as controlling brakes and landing gear, performing take off and landing, etc.). There are a number of weapons and an automatic targeting system to help successfully accomplish the missions. The MiG-29 is also equipped with flares and chaff used to avoid enemy fire. The game is divided into 5 missions plus a tutorial mission. Mission objectives include destroying the enemy's command control and communications systems, escorting a submarine to safety, and destroying enemy Scud missiles. Mission score is based on the number of enemy structures and craft destroyed. The game features real-time 3D polygon graphics and there are even several short video clips, something very uncommon for Genesis hardware.

A flight sim with ambition, awkward controls and a cheap US cart.
MiG-29: Fighter Pilot, also called MiG-29: Fulcrum, was developed by PanelComp and The Kremlin and published by Domark and Tengen. It reached Europe in July 1993, North America in August 1993 and Japan on 26 November 1993. It was marketed as the first flight simulator for the console.
Reviews were mixed. Sega Pro called it a challenging, exciting flight sim with great polygon graphics, while GameFan, in a preview, noted a slow frame rate and rough color and animation but plenty of options. Electronic Games rated it 77 percent.

Before you buy
Among US carts it sits below the middle. The European cart usually costs about the same loose and somewhat more complete, while the Japanese cart usually costs far more and has a different cartridge shape. Sega Retro lists it as using the six-button pad. A complete US copy means the case, cartridge and manual.
