Play Fighting Hawk Online

Game Overview

Fighting Hawk is one of those classic arcade shooters that just feels right—you’re in a nimble little fighter plane dodging bullets and blasting enemies across icy tundras, cityscapes, and open skies. The controls are tight, and the action’s relentless, with screen-filling bosses that’ll have you mashing the missile button like it’s 1988 all over again.

What I love about this Arcade Archives version is how it nails the original arcade vibe—right down to the slightly fuzzy CRT filter if you want it. You can tweak difficulty, adjust controls, and even compete globally for high scores. Just a heads-up: the game itself runs on the Japanese ROM, but menus and manuals are translated, so no guesswork needed.

It’s pure, uncomplicated arcade chaos—fly, shoot, repeat, and try not to get wrecked by the final boss, the Dragon Bat. Good luck with that.
