Desert Falcon is an isometric shooter that was also released on the Atari 2600 (1987) and Atari 8-bit (1988).
+ Constant need to switch between the air and ground is engaging and adds creativity to the entire playfield.
+ Buildings can shrewdly be used to your advantage and it's deviously fun drawing an enemy into their path for a kill.
- Isometric viewpoint makes it difficult to line-up shots, resulting in incessant shifting on the vertical axis to make contact.
- Super Power mechanic is convoluted and having to obtain hieroglyphs in a certain order is needless busy work.
- Has some unfortunate slowdown that causes frame-rate tanking, screen tearing, as well as laggy music.
- Bonus collect-a-thon stages do little to entertain, and some of the graphical colour schemes are garish.
