P-47 Aces

P-47 Aces is an arcade shoot 'em up created by NMK and published by Jaleco in 1995. It's a sequel to P-47: The Phantom Fighter. It runs on the Jaleco Mega System 32.

Plot
"The battle has reached a stalemate with neither side able to make the final breakthrough. The United World Armies have decided to send in the elite airborne unit to try to break the deadlock." - In the demo title Screen.

Gameplay
The concept is the same as in the prequel, however, have some differences from the first game. You can choose from 4 different planes that have their own unique abilities. Bosses are no longer reused, and more difficult than the first game. There's a unique scoring mechanic also, when you collide into an enemy or the terrain, you don't die, but gain points, except for bullets in which obviously kill you. The game also features dynamic difficulty, if you live longer in more difficult levels (this can be changed in the dipswitches), the enemies will be more aggressive and the only way to reduce it is dying.

Trivia

 * Most of the game soundtracks are remixes of NMK's older games, such as RANGA313's and the ending theme are examples.


 * The service mode is actually unfinished, as it reuses the same dipswitches as in the mahjong game, Idol Janshi Suchie-Pai Special.
 * It's possible that the game is heavily rushed, due to huge amounts of unused content to it.
