'''Air Combat''' is a [[flight simulation]] arcade game that was released by [[Namco]] in [[1992]]; it runs upon Namco System 21 hardware, and was later ported to the [[PlayStation]] in [[1995]]. The name of the game was changed for international versions as it's called '''Ace Combat''' in North America - and it simulates an F16, mainly involves dog fighting and has three levels of play: '''Cadet''', '''Captain''' and '''Ace'''. A sequel named [[Air Combat 22]], so named because it runs upon Namco System 22 hardware was released in 1995; this too was ported to the PlayStation, and released in North America as '''Ace Combat 22''' | '''Air Combat''' is a [[flight simulation]] [[first-person shooter]] arcade game that was released by [[Namco]] in [[1992]]; it runs upon Namco System 21 hardware, and was later ported to the [[PlayStation]] in [[1995]].

Air Combat also spawned an entire host of direct-to-console sequels on the [[PlayStation 2]], [[PSP]], [[GBA]], [[Xbox 360]], and [[IPhone]]. Next to their ever-popular {{c|Pac-Man}} series, it is the company's longest-running franchise - as the {{c|World Stadium}} series, which featured ''real'' baseball teams from the Japanese Central and Pacific Leagues, ended in [[1999]] after running for eleven years and as many games, if you include [[Super World Stadium '92 Gekitōban|SWS92G]]. | |||
