history Carrier Air Wing (c) 1990 Capcom.


A solid and hugely playable sequel to 1989's superb sideways scrolling shoot-em-up, "U.N. Squadron". As with the original, players chose any one of 3 different jet fighters and battle their way through ten enemy-packed stages. Another idea carried over from "U.N. Squadron" is the end-of-level shop, which allows players to buy weapon and shield upgrades for their jet fighter.

- UPDATES -


The guy who looks like Sean Connery looks even more like Sean Connery in the Japanese version of the game ("U.S. Navy") than in the American version (Carrier Air Wing).
