I don't remember which was my first one. I do know it was either Velocity's Jet Fighter or Microprose's F-117A Stealth Fighter. Both were quite fun to play back in the day. The thing that kind of bugged me about Jet Fighter was every enemy aircraft was based on the A-4. See a MiG-29? Yep, it looked like an A-4. The missions were fun, though. F-117A took a while to learn. It came on the computer we had back then. There were no instructions. I managed to figure out what each plane was when it asked you every time you start the game. If you got it wrong, I thing you could only fly training missions or something. I also figured out what every control was, too. That took awhile, but once I did the game was awesome. I still have both on disk. I haven't tried to get either to work.

Here's some info on the games.
