This is one of the most addictive games I have ever played. You pilot an airplane for the US Air force in the middle of Japan. Your missions are to kill everything that moves. The ranks at the beginning are actually the difficulty and when you consider that the first mission is Hell! Just imagine the last mission. Words will have to be invented in order to describe that one.
But even though the missions are hard and enemies are everywhere, the game has a lot to offer in terms of gameplay. Controls are really easy once you get the hang of them; Space fires your cannon and Enter releases your special weapon for the day. You can choose between three different types of special weapons at your aircraft-carrier. These are Rockets (nice for shooting down planes), Bombs (for ground targets) and Torpedoes (for sinking ships). In order to complete your mission you will have to choose the correct type of weapon for each mission.
This game was originally an arcade game, but it’s huge number of fans quickly made Broderbund release the game for both Dos and Amiga. And it is today one of the most popular flying arcade games ever made.
The graphic in the game is amazing when you think of what equipment they had to work with in those days. Try turning around in the air and you will see a nice and smooth turning sequence that really is a treat for the eyes. Sound is there for one purpose, to make the game more alive. And it delivers.
If you still don’t think the game is worth a try, then that’s too bad. This is a diamond among the games on this site.
