F-117 Night Storm, called F-117 Stealth Operation: Night Storm (Ｆ１１７ステルスオペレーション:ナイトストーム) in Japan, is a 1993 air combat simulator for the Sega Mega Drive by Electronic Arts.

Gameplay

F-117 Night Storm is an air combat game with the famous yet extremely secretive (and now, retired) stealth aircraft of the United States Air Force is its central point. Players will be sent to various trouble spots around the world to deal with problems ranging from drug dealers to assassinating real world figures with precision strikes. Players will also be hounded by a mysterious adversary named "Cowboy", an overconfident yet extremely skilled enemy mercenary pilot.

Because of the fact that F-117 was still a mystery back in the time the game was released, developers took some liberties from the real life aviation technology. As the players progress, new weapons and new variations of the F-117 will be avaiable, such as capability to carry air to air weapons and an onboard rotary cannon. (Real life F-117 was strictly a surgical strike aircraft with no air-to-air capabilities and it had no other variations.)
