Based on one of our team's favorite arcade Tecmo shooters in recent years, Aero Fighters is an action-packed, vertically-scrolling blastfest. Choose one of four pilots based on four different nations, and four altering storylines, and cruise on through this coin-op convert. Utilize an array of weapons including bombs, lasers, and missiles to blow apart enemy tanks, jets, and even buildings. It may not be much evolved from the arcade cab on the graphical end, but it plays nearly perfect with an occasional bit of SNES slowdown. Aero controls like a dream, too. What more could a shooter fan ask for? Oh, and speaking of which, experienced players should swap right over to Hard Mode for a genuine challenge.
