Super Dogfight F14 (aka Turn And Burn No Flight Zone in the west)
is an air combat shooter published by Pack-In-Video. The player gets to pilot
an F-14 Tomcat fighter armed with a M61A1 Vulcan 20mm cannon and radar
guided infrared missiles. Most of the action takes place in Mediterranean region and
missions are usually flown over the ocean. Each sortie gets the player to be launched
from an aircraft carrier and to fight Mig-29 enemy fighters over a protected
airspace zone. An AWACS operational radar grid is available and gives access to a
vast array of information such as enemy fighters location but also submarines and
refueling aircrafts. Along with straight attacks, enemy fighters may also shoot
air-to-air missiles at the player, and electronic countermeasures and escape maneuvers
must be used to avoid being hit. As a side note, a Co-Pilot mode gives a
second player the opportunity to take control of the weapon and computer system in
order to lighten the load on the first player. Once the mission is over, the player
must safely land back on the air carrier to replenish fuel and weaponry, and begin to prepare
for the next mission. A password system is used to restore a saved game.

A Game Boy version of Turn and Burn: No Fly Zone was also released
in 1992 in the United States, and published by Absolute Entertainment.

Teaser text from the American version:
Take off from your carrier and get ready for 16MEG supersonic action
with TURN AND BURN:NO-FLY ZONE(TM)! Strapped into the cockpit of
the Navy's sleek and lethal F-14 Tomcat jet fighter, you'll fly blue water
operations against a fully-rotational Mode 7 horizon and search the
heaves for your prey with an impressive array of avionic technology!
Unparalleled 16-bit sound barrier-blasting dogfights make for a senses-shattering
combat simulation that will blow you away! You've never
experienced air-to-air battles like these before-- unless you've flown the
real thing!

Ok, I was really pessimistic at first. After all, Pack-In-Video
is not clearly the kind of publisher that usually aspires to greatness.
Already the first minutes of play promised more than I expected. The action
is intense and the Mode 7 is cleverly used throughout the game. The front and
back viewpoint from the cockpit is also a great feature and puts a lot of stress
on the player, especially when a missile is locked onto the F-14 and must be
destroyed. However, compared to modern flight simulators, this game doesn't stand
a chance. Then all the missions happen over the ocean which is a major let down. So
all in all Super Dogfight F14 is a correct and responsive air combat shooter
reminicent of the good old days of the 16bit era, but that may not impress the new
comers used to more immersive 3D graphics.
