Falcon is a combat flight simulator video game and the first official entry (not counting the 1984's F-16 Fighting Falcon) in the Falcon series of the F-16 jet fighter's simulators by Spectrum HoloByte. Originally developed by Sphere for Macintosh and MS-DOS in 1987 and ported to several platforms between 1988 and 1992, the game earned commercial success and critical acclaim.
