Aero Blasters: Trouble Specialty Raid Unit, a 1990 side-scrolling shoot 'em up by Kaneko, licensed to Namco, puts you in control of a space-faring fighter jet. Originally an arcade game, it was later released on PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16 (as Aero Blasters) and Sega Mega Drive/Genesis (renamed Air Buster in North America). Your mission: blast enemies, gather power-ups, and conquer bosses to progress. A standout feature for console gamers was its simultaneous two-player mode, a rarity for side-scrolling shooters at the time. Titles like Thunder Force, Gradius, and R-Type were typically single-player experiences on home consoles.
