Developed by former Toaplan staff at Gazelle and released by Banpresto in 1996, Air Gallet is a fast-paced vertical-scrolling shoot ’em up for the arcade. Players take command of an advanced fighter jet to stop a heavily armed terrorist organization across six challenging stages. It delivers classic arcade action, challenging you to dodge dense enemy formations, upgrade your weapons, and face massive mechanical bosses, all while receiving digitized radio chatter from your commanders back at base.
How to Play
Insert a coin using the Shift key and press Enter to start. Use the Arrow Keys to navigate your fighter through the skies. Press Z to fire your primary weaponโholding it down provides rapid fireโand use X to unleash a powerful bomb to escape tight situations.
Tips
- Choose your weapon: Weapon items cycle between four types: Fire (F), Laser (L), Missile (M), and Hunter (S). Wait for the icon to switch to your preferred letter before grabbing it. The Laser (L) is highly recommended for melting down bosses quickly.
- Know your bombs: Bombs are dropped by blue planes and cycle between two types. The green Energy Spark clears the entire screen of bullets, while the blue Thunder Drive delivers heavy, focused damage to a smaller area. Don’t hoard themโuse them when overwhelmed, as losing a life is far more costly.
