Acrojet

The player flies a BD5J, a small agile jet using a joystick, while controlling the throttle, speed brakes, flaps and landing gear using keys. In addition to standard maneuvers such as nose up, bank left etc., the plane is also capable of complex movements like slips and rolls.

The cockpit controls and dials are shown on the bottom of the screen to display altitude, artificial horizon, airspeed, vertical velocity and a radar readout. Unlike most flight simulators of the time, this cockpit view was couple with a 3D style "behind the plane" view, rather than the typical first-person view.

The original Commodore 64 version was programmed by William "Mike" Denman and Edward Hill Jr. Michael Haire is credited with the artwork. The sound was done by Sid Meier, who also researched the science, along with Denman. "Stunts" were by Bill Stealey, actually a retired United States Air Force Lt. Colonel and Command Pilot.

Compute! called Acrojet "a realistic simulation that's also fun to play", stating that the game, like other MicroProse products, emphasized accurate details and controls.

Zzap!64 praised the presentation of the game and also its lastability in terms of having many events and stunts to try out, however were not impressed with the sound, giving that particular metric only 29%. They summarised that it was "An exciting flight simulator which has plenty to offer", giving it an overall 83% rating.
