Air Combat 22 (エアーコンバット 22, Eā Konbatto 22) is a flight simulator arcade game, released by Namco in 1995; it is the arcade sequel to Namco's Air Combat. Its name comes from it running on Namco's Super System 22 hardware.

Gameplay

Gameplay is similar to the original Air Combat game, with the addition of being able to control one of three aircraft, namely the Grumman F-14 Tomcat, Sukhoi Su-27 and the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor. It was available as either a conversion kit for the original Namco System 21 Air Combat cabinet, or a dedicated deluxe cabinet (measuring 78" high, 43" wide and 111" deep).
