Development and release

The game was originally announced for the Nintendo 64 in 1998 under the title Super Hornet F-18, however, the game only ended up releasing on PC platforms as F/A-18E Super Hornet in 2000.[3][4][5]

Reception

Tom Basham from Computer Gaming World gave the game a score of 3 out of 5, stating: "Timing may be SUPER HORNET’s worst enemy, having arrived after JANE’S F/A-18. Although definitely a solid sim, it’s somewhat eclipsed by Jane’s representation of the F/A-18E, especially regarding the carrier landings, HARM missile operation, wingmen, and bad weather."[1]
