This game really caught my eye when i was a kid. You fly a P-38 Lightning in World War II. Besides your guns, you can perform a loop-de-loop to avoid enemy aircraft and get powerups like more firepower or fighter escorts.

One of the first vertical shooters, not to have a star background. Also a curiosity; why would the Japanese make a game in which you play an allied pilot against Japanese aircraft?
