Every so often I see an old game for sale that commands over $50 in price and I ask myself, “why?” Why is this 10 or 20 year old game so much more than the others that sell for $5-10? There’s been a couple of games that I’ve tried and they are not that much fun. Aero Fighters is a SNES game that I’ve seen end for $200 or more frequently on eBay.? I had never played the game before.? I had always been curious.? Well today I managed to get a cartridge and fire it up.? I must say I was impressed.? For those that don’t know, Aero Fighters is one of those games where you are in a plane flying on the screen shooting stuff and trying to survive.? Raiden and 1943 are two similar games that come to mind.? McO’River added a little bit more to Aero Fighters to make the game stand out.? For one, you can choose from 4 pilots from either the USA, Japan, Sweden or the United Kingdom.? Each of these four pilots has their own goals.? This game is also two player which is neat.? I beat the game on easy mode (stop laughing) and at the end I was instructed to enter something on my keypad at the character select screen however I didn’t write it down.? Perhaps this is for hidden characters or some other Easter egg feature.
If you are looking for a nice copy of the game, I have one available here
