| history | Aero Fighters 3 (c) 1995 Video System. The 3rd game in this excellent series adheres to the solid shoot-em-up template set down by its predecessors. The player takes on the role of a Jet Fighter aircraft pilot whose mission is to combat world terrorism. The object of the game is to fly from country to country and destroy all opposition around the world, before flying into outer space to combat the menace responsible for the terrorism. Each pilot has his own storyline that ties in with the game. One enemy shot destroys the player's plane and releases a special power-up that the plane may have been carrying. If the player's final ship is destroyed, all power-ups and extra bombs are released and can be collected if the player chooses the 'continue' option, or if a second player is still active. However, on the final mission in Outer Space, the player is forced to start again at the beginning of the space mission, unless 2 players are active. Aero Fighters now features an array of 10 selectable pilots : * American Vought F4U Corsair piloted by Robo-Keaton. * American Northrop P-61 Black Widow piloted by the Blazers. * Japanese Mitsubishi A6M Zero-Sen piloted by Hien. * Japanese Aichi M6A1 Seiran piloted by Mao Mao. * Soviet Il-2 Stormovik piloted by Chaika and Pooshka. * Soviet Polikarpov I-16 piloted by Spanky. * German Dornier Do-335 Pfeil piloted by Malcolm ('Pfeil' is german for 'Arrow') * German Junkers Ju-87 Stuka piloted by Kowful and River. * British Westland Whirlwind piloted by Alex and Pictus. * British Fairy Swordfish piloted by Cindy and Ellen. There are also 2 secret planes (see the TIPS AND TRICKS section for details) : * The Aka Usagi (Red Rabbit) piloted by Kotomi. * The Diabloon piloted by The Man. - TECHNICAL - SNK Neo-Geo MVS hardware Game ID : 0097 Main CPU : 68000 (@ 12 Mhz) Sound CPU : Z80 (@ 4 Mhz) Sound Chips : YM2610 (@ 8 Mhz) Screen orientation : Horizontal Video resolution : 320 x 224 pixels Screen refresh : 59.19 Hz Palette colors : 4096 Players : 2 Control : 8-way joystick Buttons : 2 => [A] Shot, [B] Special weapon - TRIVIA - Released in October 1995. This game is known in Japan as "Sonic Wings 3". This represent the latest game in the "Aero Fighters" series for the Neo-Geo MVS. Malcolm from 1993's "Ta-o Taido" makes an appearance as a pilot. His plane has a special charged shot ability that is unique to him and Spanky (by holding Fire button). The strange ship that appears at the end of each level and warps away after the boss is defeated first appeared in "Turbo Force" as a regular enemy during Stage 2. The game forbids the initials 'SEX' on the high score table. If you try, it gets changed to 'HEY'.
