A port of Aero Fighters Special, an enhanced version of the famous Japanese Sonic Wings. Multiple pilots, snappy gameplay, plenty of plane variety. Solid for fans, barely visible in Europe.

Hamster port of Aero Fighters / Sonic Wings Special, a fleshed-out take on Video System's shooter with a broad pilot roster. A Japan-only NTSC-J release never issued in the West and scarce in Europe, it draws arcade-shmup collectors. Pricing leans heavily on sealed copies, yet genuine underlying demand exists thanks to the Aero Fighters name and its varied character lineup.
