A pixelated side-view hangar scene shows a dark gray stealth fighter aircraft with a pointed nose cone, white snow-capped peak detail on top, and diamond-shaped intake panels on its sides. The aircraft sits on a concrete tarmac with three landing gear visible. Behind it stands a modern hangar building with light gray gridded windows and a dark peaked roof with a central circular window. The color palette consists of muted grays, dark teals, and pale greens typical of 8-bit NES graphics.

F-117A Stealth Fighter is a flight combat simulator developed by MicroProse in 1992 for the NES. Players pilot the advanced F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter to complete diverse military missions. The game emphasizes tactical gameplay, requiring pilots to manage fuel, ammunition, and radar avoidance while achieving objectives. Flight controls demand precision input for throttle, direction, and altitude adjustments. Each mission features different environments and enemy air defense configurations with progressively increasing difficulty. Strategic planning is essential—players must plot flight paths to avoid detection and anti-aircraft fire. MicroProse successfully adapted the complexity of computer flight simulation to the NES hardware. The game supports two-player competitive combat on a single console.
