A Game Boy Color version of "Airforce Delta" was also released in 2000.

A sequel called "Airforce Delta Storm" in North America ("Airforce Delta II" in Japan and "Deadly Skies" in Europe) was also released for the Microsoft Xbox platform in 2001 and for Game Boy Advance in 2002.

A second sequel called "Airforce Delta Strike" in North America ("Airforce Delta: Blue Wing Knights" in Japan and "Deadly Skies III" in Europe) was released for the PlayStation 2 in 2004.

Game features

tory

Players take control of a bounty hunter that has been contracted to complete a number of strategic military missions. Each mission completed earns the player money, and the more money that is accumulated, the more sophisticated aircraft the player can purchase. Players select from a myriad of fighters and take to the skies to defend a newly independent republic from its many enemies--for fame, for glory, and most of all: for a price.

The first mission involves a preemptive strike against numerous fighter planes that are planning to bomb the Laconian city of Naxos.

The game centers around the Federated Republic of Zabayral. Ethnic tension and religious debate have caused the Republic to split into independent states. The defenseless Republic of Laconia is in dire need of military support. Rebels from the former Federated Republic of Zabayral have decided to reunite a territory long divided by ethnic conflict. After years of civil war, Laconia is the only republic left standing and has asked a mercenary defense organization to help keep it from falling to the dreaded unification movement.

As a commissioned lieutenant assigned to the Delta Squadron, you are about to embark on a series of over 20 missions in very hostile territories. You have been brought on board because you are the best in the business: a crack pilot who can take out multiple bogeys without batting an eyelash. It is your aerial experience that Laconia is banking on, since you will be alone throughout the campaign.

Airforce Delta takes place on the fictitious continent of Zabayral. A renegade army called the "People's Federation" is intent on conquering all of Zabayral, and they already have most of its provinces under siege. The last remaining free republic has called upon Airforce Delta, an elite group of mercenary fighter jet pilots, to defeat the People's Federation and liberate the continent. You are the newest recruit in AFD, and you are given a series of 20 missions to carry out. Before each mission, you are given a briefing which gives details on destroying a certain number of targets

Gameplay

"Airforce Delta" features simplistic controls with an emphasis on supersonic fighter plane action rather than the mechanics of flight.

The mission briefings are complete with an illustrated step-by-step guide which shows you your designated targets and the ideal path to take. After completing a mission, players are awarded with money that can later be used to purchase superior aircraft. Variables such as mission completion time and the number of enemies you have disposed of dictate the amount of money you will receive. When making a buying decision, choosing an aircraft most appropriate for the job is of the utmost importance. The most expensive does not necessarily mean the most practical.

Missions typically involve either seeking out and destroying the enemy or escorting friendly craft to a certain destination. The enemies encountered in "Airforce Delta" are diverse and range from air to ground and water capabilities and from offensive to defensive situations. Mission maps are based on real world locations, such as downtown Chicago and the Great Wall of China.

"Airforce Delta" features over thirty aircraft to take for a test flight. They are all based on real life aircraft both in looks and in handling. Some of the planes available for these missions include the F-4 Phantom, F-14 Tomcat, A-10 Thunderbolt, Mig 29, Su-27 and the top secret F-22 Raptor.

Trivia

* Although it is never known where the location of the continent or island that the game takes place on is, and what the name of it is, it does take place on planet Earth as the UN gets involved in bring the war to an end half way in the game.
* The names of the countries suggest that the location of the game maybe somewhere in Eastern or Central Europe.
* Besides the Delta Unit, there are other two units seen in the game: Air Force Zeta and Air Force Alpha. They do have some kind of connection although it is not made clear in the game. This can be deduced from the ending that says "Let us not forget our fallen comrades"

Mission 19: The Island Fortress Part 2 aka The True Island Fortress

It appeared as though our assault had silenced the fortress city, but we only succeeded in damaging its surface strata. The Federation government is urging our forces to surrender, with one finger on the nuclear missile hidden away within the fortress. We will not succumb to their ludicrous threats. Your mission is to prevent the launch of the nuclear missile, and to neutralize the fortress. This will be the last battle, and their resistance should be that much fierce. Remove these obstacles, and clear the way to peace. We're counting on you, lieutenant.

Mission 20: The Confrontation

I have a message for you from Colonel Zan Daas, the commander of the former Dzavailar Air Force. It says, 'I will be on the beach of the fortress city'. The colonel was one of the leaders of the Federation Revolution. No doubt many of the old military soldiers followed him into this war out of personal loyalty to him. A People's Revolution delegate has just requested the opening of a peace dialogue. Go and finish our war.
