Toaplan's 1989 vertical shmup classic Fire Shark rises from the ashes, armed to the teeth with a brand-new beginner mode, online leaderboards, quick saves and much more! In this sequel to Flying Shark/Sky Shark, you control the incredible power of homing missiles, rapid-fire machine guns, free-falling bombs, and high-tech lasers. In Japan, this game is known as “Shark! Shark! Shark!” (or “Same! Same! Same!”).
"On a parallel Earth in 19X9, a malevolent superpower seeks to conquer every region on the map. All seems lost until a super-powered biplane emerges from the smoky haze. It's the only pilot capable of saving a billion lives… The gleaming FIRE SHARK!”
ORIGINAL GAME FEATURES:
- Endure white knuckle shoot-’em-up action throughout intense stages and boss fights! Despite its simple appearance, it's jam-packed with Toaplan action if you're brave enough to play.
- Set the skies ablaze with the Super Fire, a powerful weapon whose blast resembles the legendary phoenix's wings!
- Fly solo or invite a friend to the skies in co-op.
- Marvel at the stunning graphics and beautiful settings in this arcade classic.
