I had a very difficult time with this game because my main emulator caused the ground to sometimes scroll in reverse depending on what my aircraft was doing. Needless to say it was extremely disorienting until I figured my aircraft could not actually go in reverse and started ignoring the ground. I barely managed to scrape past the first level due to the fuel limit, and did not know you could just die and respawn without losing progress. The 2nd level, which was bombing, was literally impossible.

Started over in another emulator, which ran the game properly, and beat the first level without trouble. 2nd bombing mission was ridiculous because I literally was not given enough bombs to destroy the target and had to look up a walkthrough to find out about die and respawn. It took 3 lives to beat that level. I got as far as the 2nd last level boss and stopped playing. Fighting generic enemies is fun though the heat seeking missiles only seem to work at very close range. Near the end I figured out you can customize the amount of each missile type, so I got rid of most of the heat seekers and …

It took 3 lives to beat that level. I got as far as the 2nd last level boss and stopped playing. Fighting generic enemies is fun though the heat seeking missiles only seem to work at very close range. Near the end I figured out you can customize the amount of each missile type, so I got rid of most of the heat seekers and loaded up on radar guided. Bosses were not fun because their aircraft is capable of doing things that yours cannot; going faster, brakeing harder, making tighter turns. They are also very difficult to hit with any weapons , the loop maneuver takes so long that the enemy has most likely gone off radar by the time you finish it and there is no long range map to find out where he went. Tedious and annoying, and according to the walkthrough the final boss is the same but worse. So I decided to stop playing. Bombing missions are also bad because you have to point the aircraft at the target (there are no actual bombs to drop) and this tends to obstruct anti-aircraft fire coming your way.
