Videocart-4: Spitfire is a 1 on 1 aerial dogfighting Shooter game released by Fairchild Semiconductor for the Fairchild Channel F in 1977. In addition to a 2 player mode the game allowed for 1 player to combat the CPU, which for the time was unique for a home console thanks to the Channel F being the first home console with a CPU. This preprogrammed cartridge plugs into the console of the Fairchild Video Entertainment System for more TV fun. Join up and get ready for the toughest dogfights since the Great Air War in 1 and 2- player versions of Spitfire.

Outro jogo de combate veicular/com tanques, mas bem mais rápido que Desert Fox. Por outro lado, o cadinho de estratégia que Desert Fox permitia foi embora, visto que o level design é... inexistente, sendo apenas um plano vazio. Então diria que no final dá uma soma zero.
One might argue there's a sliver of strategy required here, but it's still to simplistic and frankly, ugly, to be very interesting for long.
It's Desert Fox but a little bit better in my opinion. It has VS modes for 2 player, but more interestingly it has an AI opponent and actually has adaptive difficulty. The further the point gap is between you and the CPU the faster the game becomes. I believe it peaks at +20, but this game of trying to keep ahead of the CPU for the increased speed cap was actually pretty fun to see play out. Long story short that's how I ended up playing over 100 rounds of Spitfire.
