Red Jets is a 3D combat flight simulator inspired by the "Cold War" and the USSR Air Force. It was developed by Graffiti Entertainment and published in 2006, or 2004 according to other sources.

The player can fly four famous Soviet era jets like the MIG-29 Fulcrum, YAK-141 Freestyle, SU-27 Flanker, and the SU-27 Frog-foot.

The game features relatively realistic flight physics and the landscapes were modeled from actual satellite maps and a detailed visual weather system to simulate flights in almost unlimited combinations of weather and day.


Download Red Jets

You can download Red Jets on this website: My Abandonware. Remember to download the main installation file and the "NO CD" patch to fully make it work on your PC. I personally have tested this game on both Windows 10 and Windows 11 with no problems so far.

F/A-18 Interceptor (AMIGA/1988) - Full Playthrough and download

I never had the chance to use the Amiga platform at the time. I've always been a Microsoft guy most of the time. So when I discover this flight simulator, I just had to play it.

It's extremely closed to Jetfighter: The Adventure and Jetfighter II: Advanced Tactical Fighter for MS-DOS. I read somewhere that some of the people that worked on F/A-18 Interceptor later worked on the development of Jetfighter. if that's so, you can really see it.

The game is very basic but fun, you can fly either the F/A-18 Hornet or the F-16 Fighting Falcon and only air-to-air weapons can be loaded on your plane, so no bombing raids here.

One thing that really stood out when I played it was the good sound quality, a big difference when compared to its MS-DOS counterpart. Find this game and play it, you won't be disappointed.
