Super Nintendo Game question...

DieIng2Know · 05-10-2006, 09:54 PM

For weeks I have been trying to find the name of this game for super nintendo, if anyone can help me out, I'd appreciate it... Here is what I remember about it...

-it is a jet/airplane game

-the game is a fly by view. (screen moves left to right automatically)

-Every other plain and/or bad guy you kill you gain money

-you can use money to buy weapons and better jets/planes

-there is a weapon that is a napalm bomb, and there are regular bombs too

-one of the main/best weapons in the game is a blue thing that you launch into the sky and a blue colored rain comes down killing all enemies around

-at one point you fight a submarine that launches rockets vertically at you

-sometimes you can do bonus type missiones where you fly by a convoy and bomb them to try to get extra money

if you can help, IM me on AIM at SCTennisNCUSA.

thanks a lot guys!

That'd be UN Squadron (Japanese: Area 88), based on the Japanese anime Area 88.

There's non-linear mission selection, three characters to choose from, a recovery bar instead of one-hit-deaths, and you can earn experience by grabbing various POW pods. An early generation game, with plenty of slowdown, but a solid shooter I'd recommend to kill a couple of hours.

Yes, that is definitely UN Squadron, my favorite shmup (not that I've played too many, but hey.)

Actually I thought both the anime and the game were based on a manga.

If you're curious the Area 88 anime is available in America, but each of the four discs is at least $20 (depending on where you buy it) and only contains three episodes. I haven't yet watched it because school was bogging me down so much, so I don't know how it is.

Where are these lemmings going? The Super Nintendo Super Shire! Hop in line and follow them there!

I was curious, so I just checked up on that. Apparently, the manga inspired two anime series (as well as the game).

I never played it.
