(measuring 78" high, 43" wide and 111" deep).

Reception

Next Generation reviewed the arcade version of the game, rating it three stars out of five, and stated that "as it is, Air Combat 22 is just a good facelift".[3] Game Players called the arcade game "a screaming good time and worth every quarter", praising the game's "huge screen" and "authentic cockpit".[4] Edge stated that the game "has few actual gameplay improvements" over Air Combat, but "boasts updated ground detail and enhanced aircraft", calling its surface detail "gorgeous". The publication also stated that the game was given "more of a close-combat feel", calling the result "a more exciting match-up".[5]
