I had my niece over yesterday, so we decided to play a favourite old school arcade shooter of mine together. Passing old school gaming to the next generation y'all. Good Times.
Lightning Fighters (or as its known in Japan, Trigon) is a side scrolling action shooter developed and published by Konami for the Arcade in 1990. It has single player and two player co-op modes.
Alien invaders from a dying planet have come to Earth to drain it of its precious natural resources and take over the planet. So the Earth Defence Forces send out the Lightning Fighters to stop the Alien menace.
If there is one thing that is a stand out for me, its the music. Its so good. I have it on my IPod and often listen to it now and then. Nice visuals and fun gameplay make this a neat game, especially in two player co op mode.
Here I do a 1 Loop 2 player co-op full playthrough.
This playthrough is for nostalgia, entertainment and posterity sake. Not skill or expertise. Expect many deaths (Like my niece and I cared. We were having great fun playing this together, and that's all that mattered).
