Terra Force is a classic scrolling shoot 'em up arcade game released by Nichibutsu in 1987. Unique for its time, the game allows players to seamlessly transition between vertical scrolling over the planet's surface and horizontal scrolling through underground bases. As you pilot your spacecraft, you must blast through waves of enemy fighters, mechanical beasts, and formidable bosses.
How to Play
Your objective is to survive the enemy onslaught and destroy the boss at the end of each stage. In the browser emulator, the default arcade controls are:
- Arrow Keys: Move ship
- Z / X: Fire weapons
- Shift: Insert Coin
- Enter: Start
Tips
Mastering the transition between vertical and horizontal areas is essential. Some enemies and obstacles can only be avoided by diving into the underground sections. Collect power-ups dropped by specific enemy formations to upgrade your primary shot and equip homing missiles, which are highly effective against heavily armored targets.
