Air Cavalry - Super Nintendo Game

About Air Cavalry

Get ready to fly the not-so-friendly skies of AIR CAVALRY. In this combat flight simulation, youll be able to get behind the controls of some of the deadliest helicopters in the world. Perform a series of assignments that involve everything from recon to all-out assaults taking you to the desert, the jungle, and the ocean.

Depending on the type of mission youre flying, there are several different copters you can pilot: the OH-6 Defender, the UH-60 Black Hawk, the AH-64H Apache, and the AH-94. If youre feeling a little confused in the cockpit, head to the Training mode and get familiar with your helicopter. But if you just want to fly high and shoot low, you can take on a friend (or foe) in the Two-Player mode.

So So

I was browsing through a list of classic SNES games that I haven't played, and this game's name caught my eye. Air= Flying, Calvary= Tanks. Or at least thats what I thought this game was about... Unfortunately, this game doesn't have flying tanks, it has helicopters. I sure was disappointed. I didn't have to play this game long to know that there wasn't much else to it.

The sound was reasonable. The title screen had a catchy song, but the sound when playing the game was just annoying. All I could hear were explosions, gunfire, helicopter noises, a boring background song beating, and someone repeatedly yelling "MAYDAY!!!". Thank God for volume control...

This game is a flight sim during a war in three different places. In single player, you are one helicopter that takes on an army of tanks using missiles and machine guns. The tanks never move and just sit there and shoot you. In two player mode, You can take on an army of tanks together, or you can fight each other (While surprisingly, taking on an army of tanks at the same time). These helicopters can move anywhere on the map and adjust their height to avoid gunfire. The missions were all repetitive and very hard. Destroying an army of tanks is very hard. It's fun to fight each other on two player versus, but other than that, the gameplay is boring. You rarely get an adrenaline rush from playing this game.
