Description

source: wikipedia_enAir Buster is a 1990 horizontally scrolling shooter arcade video game developed by Kaneko. It was published by Namco in Japan and Sharp Image Electronics in North America (licensed from Namco). Two players control the "Blaster Fighter" star ships in their efforts to destroy a mysterious mechanical fortress orbiting Earth, with plans to take control of the planet. The Blaster Fighters can equip one of seven available weapons, which will change the ship's firepower and abilities, such as diagonal shots, homing missiles and small drones that follow the player's ship. Air Buster received a favorable reception for its visuals, sound effects and gameplay, although complaints were directed at the difficulty, which was deemed "too easy" by numerous publications. Ports of the game were released for both the TurboGrafx-16 and Sega Genesis, the former being renamed to Aero Blasters for international releases. The Sega Genesis release was ported over to the "Project EGG" digital storefront in 2014, which remained exclusive to Japan. A version for the X68000 was in development but never released.

source: romuエアロブラスターズは、スピーディな横スクロールシューティングゲームです。プレイヤーは、小さな宇宙船を操作し、さまざまなレベルを進んでいきます。各レベルの最後にはボスが待ち受けており、一部のセクションではゲームプレイが加速し、横方向や縦方向にスクロールする速い障害物コースが提供されます。飛んでいるオレンジのポッドは、一度に多くのパワーアップを放出し、宇宙船を新しいまたはより強力なレーザー、ウィングマン、シールドで強化します。プレイヤーは、攻撃ボタンを押し続けることで、画面上のすべての敵弾を消し去り、全ての敵にダメージを与えるブラストをチャージすることもできます。容赦ない難易度で、どのヒットも致命的ですが、残 lives とクレジットがあれば、ゲームは任意のポイントから続けることができます。ゲームは2人で協力プレイすることも可能です。
