Gameplay
The game features an instant-action arcade mode, custom missions, and a campaign mode. The player can fly three aircraft: The Eurofighter, the F-22 and the F-117, and can customize payload for each aircraft. The campaign mode takes place in three theatres - Colombia, Somalia, Libya, the Balkans, and the South South Georgia Islands. TFX stands for Tactical Fighter E(X)periment.

Development
The interactive parts of the game were reduced to still images or omitted altogether for the Amiga version which, although never officially released by Ocean, was later included as a give-away game on a CU Amiga Magazine cover disc. There was also an experimental port produced for the original PlayStation shortly after its release. The Soap Opera Engine was manually programmed in TFX, but would be altered to become automated in future games. Amiga Computing gave the game a rating of 90% although they did question its stability on the basic Amiga 1200 platform.
