Jetfighter III – Full Playthrough

On September 19, 2023

The third installment of one of my favorite combat flight simulation sagas of all time: Jetfighter III. Back in the nineties I managed to find the original box and installations disk of the game.

Unfortunately, at the time I didn’t have a “powerful” enough PC to run it which made me to abandon my adventures on flight simulators for many years.

Now, many years later, with a PC still not “powerful” enough to run the most modern sims but “powerful” enough to run the classics, I had the chance to properly play this game.

This is a game I’ve known about for a while since I’m back into flight simulators. I love the F-22 Raptor, called Lightning II by the time this game was released.

A good old game from the glorious MSDOS era when many of the classics we enjoy nowadays were born and forged. It’s not really complex to play yet not that easy to master.

Playthrough

I have been playing this game for quite a while, at the beginning looks easy but don’t be fooled. The difficulty of F-22 Lightning II increases as you progress in the game.

The following is the playthrough of the game as I shared it on The Jetfighter’s Youtube Channel to which you are all invited to visit, comment, share and off course subscribe for more flight simulations old and new.

Every game has its difficulty level. So, in case you’re stuck at some level/campaign, here comes some “help” brought to you by the magic of Internet (and Gamespot):

Back in the nineties, after my experience with the awesome Jetfighter II, I got my hands on the original Jetfighter III. It was mind blown by the changes made to the game compared to the previous releases.

Jetfighter III brought many changes not only in graphics but also in how many new thinks you could do with your planes. This meant new keys to memorize for all the new functions added to this version of the game.
