Play Strikers 1945 Plus neo geo Online

Game Overview

Okay, so Strikers 1945 Plus is basically the purest arcade shooter adrenaline you can get on Neo Geo. No cutscenes, no tutorials—just you, a fighter plane, and an absurd number of bullets filling the screen. The first minute throws you right into the action with these chunky pixel-art bombers and tanks that explode into satisfying fireballs when you nail them.

What I love is how it forces you to actually learn patterns instead of just button-mashing. The third stage boss had me stuck for ages with its laser grid attack until I figured out the tiny safe spots. And yeah, the difficulty is brutal in that classic arcade way—you’ll see the "continue?" screen a lot, but nailing a perfect run feels incredible.

There’s something about the simplicity of it: pick a plane (the twin-blade one’s spread shot saved my skin), dodge neon bullets, and try not to scream when a surprise missile swarm comes from off-screen. If you miss the days when games didn’t hold your hand, this is it.
