S.S. Mission is a vertical-scrolling shoot ’em up released for arcades in 1992 by Comad. Piloting a heavily armed helicopter through a futuristic sci-fi setting, you must battle through relentless waves of alien ships to save the planet. The game features fast-paced continuous scrolling action, distinct end-of-stage bosses, and a variety of power-ups to upgrade your primary weapons.
How to Play
Navigate your helicopter and shoot down enemy forces while avoiding their return fire. The standard browser arcade controls apply:
- Movement: Arrow Keys
- Fire Weapon: Z
- Smart Bomb: X (clears the screen of enemies; limited supply)
- Insert Coin: Shift
- Start Game: Enter
Tips
- Save your bombs: You start with a limited number of smart bombs. Keep them in reserve for boss fights or moments when the screen becomes completely overwhelmed with enemy fire.
- Upgrade quickly: Collect power-ups to increase your helicopter’s firepower and spread, which is essential for surviving the later, more crowded stages.
