Game Overview

Air Buster is a 1990 arcade shoot 'em up developed by Kaneko, playable today through MAME. It arrived during a crowded era for the genre, offering a straightforward but challenging take on the horizontal shooter format. The game doesn't reinvent the wheel but provides a solid, no-frills experience typical of its time.

You pilot a lone fighter ship against waves of enemy craft and massive bosses. The main objective is to survive each stage, destroying everything in your path. Key mechanics include collecting power-up icons to enhance your main weapon and a separate, screen-clearing bomb attack. The pacing is relentless, with enemy patterns that quickly fill the screen and demand precise dodging. It feels like a constant, tense scramble for survival where one mistake can end a run.
