Game Overview

Operation Harrier is one of those MS-DOS games that doesn’t waste time—you’re in a jet, the sky’s full of bad guys, and your trigger finger better be ready. No menus, no fluff. Just you, a radar full of red blips, and the satisfying whoosh of missiles leaving your wings.

The graphics are pure ’90s pixel chaos, but somehow that just makes the sense of speed hit harder. One second you’re lining up a shot, the next you’re barrel-rolling through a hail of enemy fire. It’s got that arcade feel where you’ll crash and burn a dozen times before figuring out the sweet spot between aggression and not exploding.

If you miss games where the biggest tutorial was “figure it out or die,” this’ll scratch that itch. The missions get brutal fast, but pulling off a flawless run feels like cheating physics. Still holds up if you’ve got a soft spot for old-school flight games that play like someone strapped a joystick to a lightning bolt.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
