I decided to make a guide for this game after I noticed that there was not one.
This has been a game that I loved during my childhood, so I decided that I
should see how far I had to go to complete it and then try and create a guide
for it. I hope you have as much fun playing this game and reading this guide
as I had playing this game and writing this guide.
This guide can only be helpful if it only gives you information on the order of
your enemy when they appear. The rest, excluding Boss Battles, will be up to
you. I will also give hints that should help you through the game.
Up Arrow = Moves airplane to the top of the screen
Down Arrow = Moves airplane to the bottom of the screen
Left Arrow = Moves airplane to the left of the screen
Right Arrow = Moves airplane to the right of the screen
1/Start = Fires weapons
2 = Switches targets the Smart-Bomb can hit while firing
Repeatidly tapping 2 = Uses one of two explosive Smart-Bomb turns
"The Earth has been attacked by extra-terrestrial forces. Their weaponry is
fierce and their numbers are almost too great to count. It will take a couple
of fearless fighter pilots to bring them to defeat. Feel up to the job?"
Yeah, the story for this version seems out of place. What makes this game seem
even more out of place, due to the story, is the enemies that you face.
Instead of Spaceships and other weird objects, you are facing tanks, ships and
basically most vehicals that you would see today. Anyway, I must stop before
this turns into a review.

04A) Level 1 Boss [SS04A]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This boss starts in what looks like a container with a zip. Using your ariel
guns, you must shoot the green zipper to the top to open the container.
Make sure to dodge any incoming bullets while you are facing the container.
Be warned, if you do not consistantly attack it when it comes on the screen,
it could be harder to defeat.
Once the container has been opened, three airplanes will come out. Looking at
the container and the size of these airplanes, you must wonder how they managed
to fit inside the container. Anyway, you can only attack these airplanes with
your ariel guns when they look larger than normal. If they are at the top of
the screen when they "grow" in size, they will attack with an exploding weapon
that will fire bullets out in certain directions. You can easily dodge them.
If they are at the bottom of the screen when they "grow" in size, they do
nothing. Just attack them until they are destroyed, then you have finished
level 1.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
05A) Level 2 Boss [SS05A]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have any Smart-Bombs, switch them to ground attack, as these tanks and
the bonds that keep them together will only be hit by ground missiles. Try to
only get one tank loose and focus your attacks on it until it is destroyed.
Move on to another tank when the first one is destoryed, hopefully one on the
other side of the tank you just destoryed.
After you have destroyed the second tank, remove the final bonds and attack in
between them, if you managed to get a tank on either side and still have both
Smart-Bombs. If not, you can attack while dodging any bullets fired at you.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
06A) Level 3 Boss [SS06A]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Boss is a pain. You have to attack two fuel tanks that are protected by a
Green Ball that keeps getting larger until it explodes, shooting missiles out
in all directions, while dodging some homing missiles.
You have to try and dodge the homing missles, only firing at the fuel tanks in
passing. This is hard as the Green Ball will probably be hit more times than
the intended target. However, you could just use any Smart-Bombs that you may
have. You are also temporarily invinsible a short time after being killed, so
use that to your advantage when possible.
Good luck with this Boss and send me an E-Mail if you have a better strategy to
beat it.

green area.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
07A) Level 4 Boss [SS07A]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You are facing three Blimps in this Boss battle. The first Blimp to arrive on
the scene is the left Blimp, which should be attacked as much as possible,
until the other two arrive. The next one to arrive is the one of the right,
followed by the middle Blimp.
You should have noticed that the missles are aimed at your current position, as
you should have been dodging them trying to defeat the left Blimp. Once all
three Blimps are around, keep moving from right to left to avoid the missiles,
while attacking each Blimp. When one Blimp is destroyed, (hopefully the left
Blimp) focus your attack on the remaining two until one of them is defeated.
The final Blimp should be handled the same way as the left Blimp was handled
before the other two joined the party, by being consistantly fired on, while
dodging the missiles.

08A) Level 5 Boss [SS08A]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Boss will fire a bullet from each turrent hidden under a grey tile
excluding the middle turrent. This middle turrent will fire a shot that will
shoot missiles in all directions. Your aim is to hit all those turrents when
they are not protected by the grey tile, which is when they are attacking.
The best strategy I could give is that you dodge the bullets while keep on
firing your guns. If you have any Smart-Bombs, use their explosive potential
to make this Boss easier.
Ground unit from the bottom. Air units from both sides, heading to the bottom.
Air unit from the centre. Another air unit from the centre. Air units from

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
09B) Level 6 Boss [SS09A]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the little machine attaches itself to the orange ship, start attacking it
with air attacks. The only thing it will do for the moment is fire little grey
orbs that block the air bullets from hitting the ship.
Once the ship spilts in half, you will have to deal with semi-seeking missiles
and normal bullets fired by any ship. Dodge the missiles while trying to hits
the pink capsule at the bottom of the remaining half of the ship.
Raids are the easiest part of this game. You have to destroy everything to get
a maximum of 200,000 points. If you get hit by a bullet, you only get stunned,
not destroyed. Generally, there is no real method to get 200,000 points, as
the method of keep moving from side to side while firing works wonders for me.
If you destroy less than 100%, you will get the % * 1,000 points.
If you are playing a two player game, having each person focus on a different
side will destroy the targets, thus making this easier.
