Combat Air Patrol is a flight simulator video game edited by Psygnosis in 1993.
[1] Set during the first Gulf War, the player is based aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71), from which they fly sorties with the aim of defeating the Iraqi armed forces and liberating Kuwait.
Players have the choice of two aircraft: the Grumman F-14 Tomcat and the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet, with the former primarily focusing on escort missions and patrols and the latter on bombing runs such as destroying patrol boats, bridges and SCUD missile bases.
In-flight refuelling is also a feature of the game during longer missions, and provides a similar challenge to the player's piloting skills.
Computer Gaming World in 1994 stated that Combat Air Patrol for the Amiga "has much to like despite its flaws.
