An obscure flight combat simulator video game made for Sega Genesis back in 1990, you pilot a SuperPrototype F-119 Stealth Fighter in a war against terrorist threat around the world, alone. [[OneManArmy Not that it helps the terrorists]]. There's a sequel released years later for Super Nintendo, ''Super Air Diver''.

----
!!Air Diver contains examples of:

*AcePilot: They act as [[TheDragon penultimate bosses]] of every stage. Unlike the boss of each stage, they will employ dogfight tactics against you, and they're practically immune to your missiles; you have to shoot them down the hard way.
* AirborneAircraftCarrier: Your home base, where you return to after every sortie for repairs, refuels, and bonuses. [[spoiler: It got shot down by the TrueFinalBoss.]]
*EldritchStarship: The bosses are, to put it mildly, ''weird''-looking ships that's more akin to alien spacecrafts than anything employed by earthly terrorist organizations.
* EnemyDetectingRadar: Your plane's equipped with one, and you can tell how many {{Mooks}} are coming for you. When you're only seeing ''[[AcePilot one]]'' enemy coming for you, be ready for it.
* HighSpeedMissileDodge: The best way to dodge [[OneHitKill missiles going for your cockpit.]]
* MacrossMissileMassacre: You have approximately 20 missiles per pod. You have 20 ammo pods by default, and can be refilled mid-fight by certain bonuses. [[SincerityMode Have fun.]]
* OhCrap:
** Whenever your wing got hit, since it causes you to lose fuel rapidly.
** When you're about to face the TrueFinalBoss, you will get a rude awakening by [[spoiler: having your AirborneAircraftCarrier shot down.]]
* SubsystemDamage: You can be hit on your front guns, missile pods, thrusters, or wings, and you can take 2 before the next one sends you crashing. Normally, they're not an issue, but if you're hit on the wings, [[OhCrap your fuel starts to go down at a rapid rate]], and you need to finish the level ''fast''.
*TimedMission: You're actually limited by your fuel reserves, which can cause you to crash and lose a life if you take too long fighting the AcePilot. This is normally not an issue, but [[OhCrap if your wings got damaged...]]
* TrueFinalBoss: Clear all the levels, and you get to fight it. [[spoiler: It's your EvilTwin, with similar stealth capabilities. Your EnemyDetectingRadar can only register only sporadic blips now.]]
