Infiltrator is a classic action and flight combat game developed by Chris Gray and published by Mindscape. Originally released in the late 1980s, the game combines helicopter simulation with side-scrolling infiltration missions. Players assume the role of Captain Johnny “Jimbo-Baby” McGibbits, a secret agent assigned to penetrate enemy bases and stop hostile threats.
Gameplay is divided into two main phases. In the first phase, players pilot an advanced helicopter, engaging in aerial combat while managing fuel and weapons. After landing near enemy territory, the game shifts to a ground-based stealth and action segment where players must gather intelligence, avoid detection, and escape safely. The blend of flight mechanics and espionage gameplay was innovative for its time. Limited resources and strategic decision-making add challenge and replay value. With its mix of arcade action and tactical infiltration, Infiltrator remains a memorable retro title from the golden era of computer gaming.
