Great shoot 'em up (shmup) with 8 fighter pilots, each with their own jets and firepower. Pick from 4 different characters on the 1P side of the cabinet, and 4 different characters from the 2P side of the cabinet. You can play 2P simultaneous play this way. The 7 levels are not particularly long each, but the sequence of the first 3 are almost always randomly chosen. Destroying certain enemies or obstacles will unearth a floating "P" icon, which upgrades your firepower, up to a handful of times. The maximum power of your shot will only have limited firepower; when it's out you revert back to the previous power level. As is common in shmups, you have special attacks at your disposal (bombs), 2 per life, and some enemies will drop more. The effect of these bombs varies from character to character. You are granted an extra life at 200,000 points, and you have unlimited continues (provided you have credits). At stage 7 (final stage), you will face either of 2 bosses: a giant ape (Osaru) or a skull (Pandora). You can destroy them or take too long and let them get away-- allowing for one of 2 ending sequences to unfold. You will then play again all the way through (with increased difficulty) with a character profile at the end of the 2nd loop and a GAME OVER. Great action, interesting characters, and nice power-ups highlight the first in this series (also known as SONIC WINGS)-- 2 later entries were for the NEO GEO cabinet! Cameo: Player 1 from RABBIT PUNCH appears in Mao's ending as a stuffed animal!
