Birds of Prey is a flight simulator for theAmiga andIBM PC compatibles developed byArgonaut Software and published in 1992 byElectronic Arts. It includes a wide variety ofNATO andWarsaw Pact aircraft and their respective ordnance as well as 12 different mission profiles. The game takes place on a large map consisting of several land areas separated by the sea. The plot revolves around a military conflict between two sides that have three air bases and two aircraft carriers each.[1]
Computer Gaming World offered two opinions ofBirds of Prey. One criticized the game's lack of realism and flawed targeting, while the other favorably cited the wide variety of aircraft and recommended it to action-oriented flight gamers.[2] In a 1994 survey of wargames, the magazine gave the title two stars out of five, saying "the various aircraft have suspiciously similar flight characteristics and instrumentation".[3]
