Kamikaze

Kamikaze is an action arcade shooter released in 1981. The player pilots a small plane toward the left edge of each level while shooting or avoiding enemy planes, soldiers, and missile launchers.

A plane carrying dynamite must be shot down before the explosive can be collected. The player then crashes into the castle gate to rescue hostages. A replacement plane carries the hostages back to base, though it can hold only two at a time, making return trips necessary. Once every hostage has been returned, the next level begins.
