Aero Fighters

Version
1.0
Aero Fighters (known as Sonic Wings in Japan) is a
vertical-scrolling shoot 'em up ("shmup") arcade game
released in 1992 by Video System, ported to the Super
Famicom in 1993 and the Super Nintendo in 1994, and
spawned two sequels for the Neo-Geo, one for the
PlayStation and Sega Saturn (both only in Japan) and a
3-D sequel on the Nintendo 64. The first sequel was
notorious for multiple instances of Engrish, such
as "I never thought I'd be frying over a jungle."
The player chooses one of four nationalities (USA,
Japan, England, or Sweden), and proceeds to fly
through seven enemy-laden stages, dodging massive
amounts of enemy fire in order to reach the colossal
end boss of each stage.
Player 1 can only play as the Player 1 Side fighters
(F/A-18, FS-X, AV-8B, and AJ-37), and if a second
player joins, player 2 must play as the second fighter
for player 1's nation (F-14, F-15, JAS 39 Gripen, or
Tornado IDS). The nationality restriction is removed
