Game Details

One player, or two players simultaneously. There are fifteen stages (two stages for each of seven different time periods, then a final battle at Amondule headquarters in the year 2110). Before each stage, the player chooses one of four secondary weapons. Standard shooter fare, although the bosses are somewhat unique--you defeat them not merely by shooting at them, but by blasting through their armor and destroying all their weapons and propulsion systems. Regardless of the armor still left unshot, a boss will die as soon as all of the weapons, propulsion systems, and cockpits are destroyed.

--- 720 --- (Contributor: unknown) In the ramp section, levels 8, 9, and 10: holding down the kick and jump buttons simultanously on the lip of the ramp will boost your air. This trick only works when you're going the correct speed (usually your third or fourth jump), and only once (as far as I can tell) per ramp session per level. ----------- Afterburner ----------- (Contributor: Anthony D.
