AV-8B Harrier Assault
DOSCombat Flight Simulator
AV-8B Harrier Assault is a military flight simulator developed by Simis and published by Domark for DOS in 1992. It combines hands-on piloting of the vertical/short takeoff and landing AV-8B Harrier with operational decisions involving aircraft, weapons, fuel, and mission priorities. The game is played from a cockpit perspective during combat sorties, while a broader campaign layer gives the player responsibility for planning and sustaining operations. Its emphasis on resource management and mission preparation distinguishes it from a purely arcade-style flight game. Contemporary reception generally recognized its ambition and detailed simulation approach, although the demanding interface and steep learning curve limited its accessibility.

How rankings are calculated
The list is generated from active EmuGamers catalog entries. Votes and play activity determine order; browser compatibility is reported separately and does not turn an untested game into a higher-ranked recommendation.
| Order | Signal | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
