Trying to find the name of an arcade shmup.

Post by NorthernCross »

Can anyone tell me the name of the arcade shmup in which you could choose between a number of characters of different nationalities, who piloted jets, each with a unique special weapon? From what I remember, there was a Japanese character whose jet could fire a giant laser beam, and I think a viking whose jet could flip over and fire missiles? Does anyone remember this game?

Any help in figuring this out would be greatly appreciated!

That's one of the Sonic Wings/Aero Fighters titles.
No matter how good a game is, somebody will always hate it. No matter how bad a game is, somebody will always love it.

Yup, probably Aero Fighters 2 on the NeoGeo hardware.
