F-19 Stealth Fighter (1988)
F-19 Stealth Fighter is a 1988 simulator video game made by MicroProse Software, Inc. and Nightdive Studios.
Before the F-117 Nighthawk was publicly revealed, Sid Meier built a simulation around the aircraft everyone suspected existed: an angular, radar-invisible fighter operating in the shadows of Cold War flashpoints. F-19 Stealth Fighter sends you into crisis zones spanning the Persian Gulf, the North Cape, and Central Europe on missions where staying off enemy radar matters as much as putting the weapon on target. The simulation models threat detection, infrared signature, and weapon lock-on with a precision that made it one of the most demanding flight sims of its era.

A few thoughts on F-19 Stealth Fighter
MicroProse built this game's Cold War tension on genuine uncertainty: in 1988, the actual stealth aircraft was still classified, and the simulation had to work from informed speculation. That attention to plausible technical reality, to what the aircraft might be capable of and what it could not do, is what gives every mission its particular edge.
