Development

Around 1996, Take-Two Interactive was making about US$10 million, but Ryan Brant wanted to further expand the company, and made its first acquisition of Mission Studios and publishing its JetFighter III game in 1996.[4]

Gameplay

Jetfighter III is a game in which the player is the pilot of the F-22N - a fictional version of the F-22 fighter - and has been assigned to work as part of a battle group for the United Nations.[5]

Reception

Next Generation reviewed the PC version of the game, rating it four stars out of five, and stated that "Jetfighter III manages to soar high when others flop. If you're in the market for a thrilling (but not necessarily realistic) representation of modern air combat, Jetfighter III is a perfect choice. Only a lack of multiplayer support and mild problems with the game's realism keep this from five-star territory."[5]
