World Wars is a vertically scrolling shoot ’em up released in 1987 for the Arcade. Closely related to SNK’s earlier title Bermuda Triangle, this game retains similar core mechanics while introducing updated graphics, a new ship design, and different backgrounds. Players pilot a heavily armed spacecraft through challenging vertical stages, engaging both aerial and ground-based enemy forces with a variety of upgradable weapons.
How to Play
Your objective is to survive the advancing stages while destroying enemy aircraft, ground installations, and dodging incoming fire. As an emulated arcade game, you will first need to insert virtual coins to start.
- Insert Coin: Shift
- Start: Enter
- Movement: Arrow Keys
- Shoot / Weapons: Z and X
Tips
- Pay equal attention to both the air and ground. You must actively target ground units to prevent them from overwhelming you with anti-aircraft fire.
- Prioritize collecting weapon power-ups whenever they appear, as your starting firepower is quickly outmatched by later enemy waves.
