I've played through this game I would guess around 100 times, and probably 4 out of 5 of those were with the Game Genie. Back before PSone there was just something so addictive and cathartic about. Bought it used, so I didn't get a manual, took awhile to realize the blue powerups were worth 3 red and forever to figure out those stars give you 5K. the worst part was on the final mission, wasting all my weapons on the carrier and realizing it was just a mid boss.
Mostly, it's the fact that any pilot you choose can fly any plane, and after the first stage you get to pick the order you want to play the stages in.
Each pilot in the arcade version can fly only one plane, and you have to play the stages in order.
hey bro.. do you know how to play in tha gamer level?... I know how to put it but just with the 2-player-control i wanna do it with the 1-player-control. Can anybody help me?
i once beat this game on the hardest setting. It's madness. I wish youtube existed back then so I could show you how great I am. When you beat it on the hardest setting, you'll get a message on the screen that says, "YOU ARE CRAZY".
I had this game in my SNES, it got stolen along with the SNES, controlers and other games for it :'( Then I downloaded it on the computer and now I remember how FUCKING hard that game is! but fun...
i remember i was like probably 5 or 6 when i got the game..am now 22 lol we got it brand new.. so..shows you how far technology has gone..can't remember what i did with all my NES cartriges but this was my fav game lol
My brother and I had this crazy idea of taking the SNES controller and sharing it so that one person would concentrate on shooting and the other would fly. It was an idea that actually worked! We could never sucessfully beat the game until we did that. Funny looking back on it but I guess we acted like a pilot/copilot team, and we kicked some major A.... Awesome Game.
how did you guys do that did You share a controller...As its pretty uncomfortable sharing 1 snes controller or did u guys use an arcade(snes) pad...since its more spacious for hands??
actually we shared the standard SNES controller that comes with the system. Its a little akward at first but once u get used to it, its alot of fun. :)
Actually it is, in fact, it was originally called Area 88 in Japan, then when it came to the US in the arcade and on Super Nintendo, it was retitled to UN Squadron.
i made $317 from this site last month . . . . . http://www.treasuretrooper.com/111667 . . . . . . . u get money for filling out surveys, usually around $1 each but they add up. there are also free trials that will get u more than $10 each. the surveys are easy and only take a couple minutes. each month they send u a check in the mail for your earnings. i know there is a lot of spam/crap on the internet, but this site is 100% legit. just a good way to make some cash if u have some extra time
The sound effects in this game are FRAKKING AWFUL and sound like WET FARTS!!!
