Birds of Prey

About

Birds of Prey lets you take control of a fighter pilot in a fictional Cold War clash between NATO and Soviet forces. Pick your allegiance at the start then hop into one of many aircraft on either side. Missions range from dogfights to ground attacks with options to customize loadouts and tactics. The game focuses on flight mechanics and combat strategy with a straightforward single-player structure. The variety of planes and mission types stands out alongside the ability to switch between sides. Community reviews note its solid flight model for early 90s tech and the depth of customization. While dated by modern standards its no-frills approach to aerial combat and clear objectives made it a hit among simulation fans in 1991.
