To commemorate 4th of July weekend, Id thought Id play this random game for the following reasons (1): A short break from my regular video upload schedule (2) I've been on a shmup kick lately, so Id thought Id give this a try. I've heard about it, so why not try it out now? and (3) It has "U.S" in the game title and its based on the events of WWII, so that counts as a 4th of July/USA themed video game (in my mind anyway)...
About the game: USAAF Mustang was released for the Arcade in 1990 by developers NMK Co Ltd and publishers UPL and Taito. It is a single player horizontal scrolling shooter. A year later it was ported to the Sega Mega drive console under the title Fire Mustang. There are 8 stages in total, after the 8th stage, the game loops again.
Inspired by the events of WWII, the player assumes the part of a pilot of a North American P51 Mustang as you carry out various missions against the combined Axis Forces of Germany and Japan. Your fighter is equipped with the standard fire and bomb weapons, with the chance to increase their power by destroying certain enemies..
The game is enjoyable, but later stages get difficult (as you'll see by my constant deaths lol).
