Area 88
Known as U.N. Squadron outside Japan. In this game the player can choose between three mercenary pilots: Shin Kazama, Mickey Scymmon and Greg Gates. Their mission is to stop a terrorist group known as Project 4. Each character has different strengths and weaknesses. Shin is the pilot who levels up his firepower the fastest, but if takes him too much to repair his plane if he gets shot. Greg doesn't levels up quick, but he can repair his plane almost instantly. Mickey is balanced in those two aspects and has more attack power with special weapons. The levels are chosen on a map. Not all of the levels can be chosen at first but they will open when the previous ones have been cleared. In addition, there are enemy squadrons that threat the main mercenary base. If they reach the base, the player is forced to clear the attacking squadron level until they are defeated. Your character earns money by shooting down enemy planes and vehicles which could be used to purchase upgrades, such as new planes or secondary weapons. When the level finishes, any unused weapon will be returned and some money invested in it will be returned to the pilot (it depends on how much ammo is left on each weapon.
