Pilot was a minor hit in the arcades around 1982.
This version provides a good challenge and a good old-fashioned
blast.
You
pilot a fighter jet which flies in any direction through
moving clouds, blasting various enemy aircraft. There
are five different stages. You start by tackling the
biplane fighters of World War I, progress through the
monoplanes of WWII, the helicopters and jets of the
70's and 80's and end up with the flying saucers of
2001.
On
each level you have to shoot a certain number of planes
before a big craft of that period appears. Shoot that
to move onto the next period. Paratroopers occasionally
appear which you can pick up for bonus points.
Overall,
like the arcade version, the sound and graphics leave
something to be desired, but are quite adequate. The
movement is smooth and the action satisfying.
