Game description

The aim of the game is to shoot down enemy planes and collect weapon power-ups . Instead of life, the game uses a vitality system in which if the player is hit, he loses vitality (energy). Lightning attacks can be used by pressing the B button, which sacrifices part of the life energy.

One or two players control a P-38 Lightning (for one player) or a Mosquito Mk IV (for two players) to shoot down enemy planes and ships. The normal ammunition is unlimited, while the additional weapons via the power-ups are only available in limited numbers.

The game shifts from the original Pacific War Front to the Western Front in the Atlantic Ocean .
