Aero Fighters 3. There, I said it.

They should've just skipped to Limited/Special after 2.

It's clear if you can't play AF3 properly means you suck overall, give me a break... it was fine game, only wrong games were rabio lepus and turbo force

After Turbo Force.

Turbo Force is where shmups themselves went wrong

I thought most people would say Aerofighters Assault, though I liked that game. Dosvedonya!

Who cares about their shooters, Video Systems F-1 Grand Prix series is the greatest thing ever.

I suppose by itself, AF3 is fine. But compared to AF2, it pales. Most stages are too short, plenty of annoying random spots, locked 2P selection... and Cindy & Ellen got a lame plane D:

And huh, I completely forgot about Assault

Actually, I quite enjoyed it.

In before Pipe Dream. I swear on it.

Instead of taking it to the next level, V-S decided to cheap out, lowering the power of every plane, just so they could shorten the stages. I'm not saying SW3 was horrible, I'm just saying 2 has more appeal.

Or in short, when did they go wrong: when they changed the name to "Aero Fighters".
