Aurail is a 1990 arcade multi-directional shooter developed by Westone and published by Sega. You pilot a versatile mecha tank through hostile territory, battling waves of robotic enemy forces. The action alternates between classic top-down scrolling stages and immersive pseudo-3D first-person tunnel sequences, making it a visually dynamic experience for its era.
Your objective is to survive each stage by destroying enemy units and navigating past heavily fortified defenses. In the browser emulator, use the Arrow Keys to move your tank, press Shift to insert a coin, and Enter to start. Use the Z and X keys to fire your main weapon and control your remote drone unit.
Mastering the drone mechanic is essential for survival. The drone acts as a protective shield against incoming projectiles, but it can also be detached and sent forward as an offensive weapon. During the first-person tunnel segments, focus on quick reflexes to dodge incoming obstacles and prioritize destroying enemies before they can trap you in crossfire.
