Play Radar Lock Online

Dodge enemy swarms while your fuel ticks down—those mid-air refuels feel like relief, then it’s back to lining up missile locks and dropping mines in bombers’ paths. The radar’s janky, but tracking blips never gets old.

Game Overview

Radar Lock throws you straight into the cockpit of a sleek delta-wing fighter—no tutorials, no hand-holding, just you and a swarm of enemy ships. The first mission eases you in with basic drones, but by level three, you're dodging patrollers while trying to line up a missile lock. The fuel gauge is always ticking down, so those tense mid-mission refuels with the tanker feel like a tiny victory.

What I love is how the weapons change things up. At first, you're just spraying machine guns, but later you get these proximity mines that force you to think tactically—drop one in a bomber's path and watch the fireworks. The radar at the bottom of the screen is clunky by today's standards, but there's something satisfying about tracking blips and realizing too late that three interceptors just flanked you.

It's pure 80s arcade chaos, where every mission feels like barely making it out alive.
