Play Hawk F-123 (Japan edition · Japanese) Online

Pilot a fighter through horizontally scrolling combat zones while enemy aircraft and ground installations threaten your route. The screen's forward movement means that choosing a position matters as much as keeping your weapons firing: moving too far ahead leaves little time to react to incoming formations. Destroy enemies to open a path, watch for useful pickups and read the attack patterns of larger targets before approaching them. Keep some clear space around the aircraft so that a sudden shot does not force you into the scenery. The challenge grows as attacks begin arriving from different heights, making controlled changes of altitude more useful than continually sweeping across the entire screen.
