This game is significantly better than the first game in the series, but also much harder. If you can't read Japanese very fast and if you are not going to cheat using save states, then this game is going to be a huge problem to beat. But it seems like a native Japanese speaking person would find this game to be a lot of fun. The game flow is the following. You choose a region of Japan that your character lives in. Then you will compete in the regional quiz championships. This is composed of a qualifying quiz that you have to get 10 questions right to pass, then you compete against the other contestants from your region that also passed the qualifying test. If you get first or second place, you will move on to the national level of the game. Again, you must pass a qualifying quiz.

Airwolf
1988
Airwolf, based on the Donald Bellisario 80s TV show about a hi-tech military helicopter solving Cold War era missions, is a horizontal shoot-em-up. Kyugo Boueki originally created it for the Arcades in 1987 and it would receive an NES home version the following year. It is not to be confused with the 1989 Airwolf licensed game from Beam Entertainment and Acclaim. The player receives their mission via an introductory cutscene, chooses the weapon load-out for the Airwolf that best suits the kind of resistance they're likely to face (so an emphasis on bombs if there's expected to be a lot of ground units) and is sent off to complete the mission. For the boss battles, the game will occasionally switch to a first-person view in which the controller guides a set of crosshairs on screen. The goal of these battles is to shoot down each element of the boss (guns, etc.) as well as any projectiles the boss sends the player's way.Toy Story
