Fire Barrel (Japan) — About this game
Fire Barrel (Japan) sends a fighter through eight vertical stages against the Fourth Empire. Capsules supply four gun patterns, ranging from broad forward fire to a narrow laser and an all-direction attack. Straight or homing missiles add a secondary layer of coverage, while bombs clear the screen. The choice of collected equipment determines how the fighter handles tanks, ships, aircraft and fixed defences.
