A vertical arcade shooter starring a phantom biplane defending a South Pacific island.
The briefing
Fire Shark is a vertical flying shooter from ToaPlan, released in 1988. Enemy forces have attacked a small South Pacific island, severing communications and destroying military bases. In response, a mysterious phantom biplane known as the Fire Shark rises from the smoky haze to fight back.
Players take control of the aircraft and use a varied arsenal, including air-to-ground and air-to-air missiles, rapid-fire machine guns, free-falling bombs, and high-tech lasers. The objective is to defeat the invading forces and protect the island and its people.
