Acrobatic Dog-Fight

Acrobatic Dog-Fight, released in Japan as Dog-Fight, is a colorful horizontal-scrolling shooter from Technos. Its cartoon-style presentation and 8-way scrolling resemble Time Pilot, while its bounded playfield adds a ceiling, ground, and destination to navigate toward.

The game includes a secondary weapon and an eject button. Ejecting allows the pilot to attempt to hijack an enemy plane; if the attempt fails, the pilot parachutes to the ground, where a standard plane is waiting nearby.
