Aero Fighters 2 (also known as Sonic Wings 2) is a fast-paced vertical scrolling shooter released for the Arcade by Video System in 1994. You choose from a diverse cast of international pilots, each flying distinct fighter jets, to battle through stages packed with enemy aircraft and massive mechanical bosses.
How to Play
Your objective is to survive each stage by dodging enemy fire and destroying as many targets as possible before taking on the stage boss. Use Shift (or 5) to insert a coin and Enter (or 1) to start. Navigate your jet with the Arrow keys. Press Z to fire your primary weapons and X to deploy a screen-clearing bomb.
Tips
- Conserve Your Bombs: You have a limited supply of bombs. Save them for tight situations when you are overwhelmed by dense bullet patterns, or to deal heavy damage to bosses.
- Learn Your Pilot: Each character has a unique primary shot spread and bomb type. Try different pilots to find the weapon set that best matches your playstyle.
- Prioritize Power-Ups: Specific enemies drop power-up items (P) that upgrade your firepower. Collecting these early makes surviving subsequent waves significantly easier.
