The object of the game is to take out aircraft that are trying to destroy the player's stealth fighter.

The player is in full control of their Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk stealth attack aircraft; controlling every aspect of the military flight experience from exiting the runway and battling other fighters while airborne to landing the plane after the battle is over.

Missions take place in the potential military hot spots of the late 1980s.
