Play Flight of the Intruder Online

Summary

Flight of the Intruder drops you into the 1972 Linebacker Campaign, letting you feel the tension of real‑world air combat that was verified by Vietnam pilots themselves. You launch from the USS Shiloh, pick either an A‑6 Intruder or an F‑4 Phantom and can swap cockpits on the fly, a rarity for a NES title. Before each sortie you fine‑tune a plane’s loadout, set sixteen difficulty variables, and study aerial photos of the thirty‑four possible targets.

The game lets you command up to eight friendly aircraft—four Intruders and four Phantoms—while you plot a mission package and execute it from inside or outside the cockpit, complete with pan‑and‑zoom views. Thirteen pre‑written missions test your strategic choices, and a commander mode even lets you design your own scenarios.

Authentic weapon systems, enemy MiGs, and relentless anti‑aircraft fire keep the stakes high, and you can capture video or snapshots for later review, making each flight feel like a documented piece of history.
