Turn and Burn - No-Fly Zone

STORY / GAMEPLAY
The game's story is simple: Gear up, get in your Grumman F-14 Tomcat, take off and unleash hell to the enemies. Apart from the nicely done aircraft, the weapons used are exactly the same as the F-14 could carry: Sidewinder Missiles, a Vulcan Cannon (M61A1) and Phoenix air-to-air rockets. Turn And Burn is an arcade simulator which means you have to control the aircraft well (so as not to hit the ground or crash yourself into the ocean). So, all you need is approximately 5 minutes to get used to the plane's controls and you'll be ready to destroy and dog-fight. Your main targets are enemy aircrafts and battleships, flying through daylight and night missions. You will be informed of your current mission while on air. Among the important things is to land your F-14 to an aircraft carrier for re-supply (whenever possible that is), which -by the way- needs good practice to accomplish. The point is this: If you run out of fuel or ammo, you're history!

GRAPHICS / SOUND
Now that's what I call "the fastest arcade simulator I've ever seen on a 16bits machine). The aircraft moves so quickly that it gives the impression of playing this game on a more sophisticated console! The game's perspective is always from the inside of the cockpit (yes guys, there's no exterior camera this time) and all the cockpit indications work in real-time. The visuals are great since the developers used the Mode 7 scaling technology that's exclusively featured on the SNES, to create perhaps one of the best aircraft arcade simulators ever appeared on the 16bits era. The sound FX are equally cool with all the necessary explosions, turbines, missiles, Vulcan's shots sound effects that are seemingly sampled from actual sources.
