Name this game

[marco75]

I saw it arcades many years ago. The monitor was in vertical orientation, like most shmups. The graphics looked similar to Change Air Blade. The standout feature was that you could turn your fighter jet, and scroll the other way, or turn sideways. It had quartercircle and halfcircle motions to control this, like a fighting game.

I have tried Change Air Blade, and it's not that one.

Can You name this game?

It might be Skull Fang. I can't be sure, as I've never played Skull Fang, but I've read some things about it, and I think it had a system similar to what you've described. I don't think it's MAME'd though.

PS - You look sorta like David Cross from Mr. Show.

Yeah, what you described sounds like Skull Fang. Do you by any chance recall some sort of "throttle" that you could adjust to make the screen scroll by faster? If you do, then it's definitely Skull Fang.

My guess would be Skull Fang. Where's my prize?

Can't give You any prize until I can find a picture of Skull Fang and confirm your answer.
I checked the KLOV entry.
It is part of a series by Data East: Vapor Trail, Wolf Fang, Skull Fang.

Skull Fang IS in MAME, but the protection is not emulated.

Vapor Trail isn't bad. It's easy, the graphics are flat, generous with power ups, you die on the second hit, bombs are instantenous. The music is top gun style. Worth checking out.

Gee, you think there's a resemblence?

Mr. Show sounds like my kind of thing.

Thanks for the replies.[/img]

Really old, but its not Konami's Time pilot is it?

Proberly not, as its graphics look nothing like Change air blade.

Air Duel has graphics similar to Change Air Blade, and you can choose between two types of ships between levels.
