***Review***

It’s been a while since I have played this game. But, it is probably the only shooter style game I have ever sat down and beat. I remember beating all 32 levels of this game on a school night, hoping every stage was the last stage and that my NES wouldn’t screw up before the game was over.


***Points***
Small plane
=50
Medium plane=1000
Large plane=2000, without losing a life, the points increase by 500 every time you shoot one down
Boss plane=20000
Squad plane=100, defeat the whole squad for a "POW" and an extra 500 points
POW=1000
Rolls=1000 points for remaining rolls at the end of each stage

***Defeating Boss Planes***
Fly directly between the front and back wings. Here you will not recieve damage from the planes guns. Watch out for the planes body and shoot it down.
