Descpription:
The player assumes the role of a pilot of a futuristic
fighter jet, trying to rescue fellow pilots trapped in different time
eras. The player must fight off hordes of enemy craft and defeat the
mother ship (or "boss") present in every level.
The background moves in the opposite direction to the player's plane, rather
than the other way around; the player's plane always remains in the center.
This game has the player travel through five time periods, rescuing
stranded fellow pilots. The player must fight off droves of enemy
craft while picking up parachuting friendly pilots.
Once 56 enemy craft are defeated, the player must defeat the mothership
for the time period. Once she is destroyed, any remaining enemy craft
are also eliminated and the player progresses to the next level.
All the levels have a blue sky and clouds as the background except the
last level, which has space and asteroids instead. The specific eras
visited, the common enemies and the motherships are:
1910: biplanes and a blimp 1940: WWII monoplanes and a B-25 1970: helicopters and a large, blue CH-47 1982 (Konami version)/1983 (Centuri version): jets and a B-52 2001: UFOs
