Acrobatic Dog-Fight ROM

A 1 or 2 player horizontal scrolling shooting game. Controls are directional and three buttons.

Button 1: Fire
Button 2: High speed boost, jump while on the ground
Button 3: Jump out of the plane

The aim of the game is to take off in your aircraft and reach the end of the level, at the end of the level there is a boss. To achieve this you must shoot various enemies that appear from all directions. Your progress to the end is shown in the top right.

If your aircraft is damaged it will start giving off flames, you will still be able to fly in this condition however if you are hit again you will fall to your death. To avoid this you can position yourself near another aircraft and jump into it or parachute down to the ground. If you parachute to the ground you will land near another aircraft and can take off again, however you will be under attack while you attempt to get to it. Jump over obstacles on the ground by using button 2.

On the left side of the screen is shown a fuel gauge, this will warn you when your fuel is running low. Fuel runs down faster when using the speed boost and is replenished when you destroy an enemy. Under the fuel gauge is the number of parachutes you have remaining and the number of lives you have remaining.

In 2 player, the play alternates between players after each life is lost. The play is identical for both players.
