How to play Air Combat 22 online
Getting Started
When you start Air Combat 22, the first thing you see is the title screen and then a brief demo. Press Start to begin. You control a fighter jet from a first-person cockpit perspective. Use the arrow keys to steer your aircraft and the A button (X key) to fire your main weapon. The goal is to shoot down enemy planes while avoiding their attacks and obstacles. The game progresses through multiple stages, each ending with a boss fight or a specific objective.
The core loop involves engaging enemy waves, dodging incoming fire, and managing your speed and positioning. The game uses a simple lock-on system for missiles, which you can fire by pressing the B button (S key). You have a limited number of missiles, so use them wisely. Pay attention to the radar at the bottom of the screen to locate enemies. If your plane takes too much damage, you lose a life. Continues are available if you insert extra credits.
Since this is the Japanese revision, menus are in Japanese. The main options are typically "Game Start", "Continue", and maybe a high score table. Most text is straightforward, but if you cannot read Japanese, the gameplay is self-explanatory. Just insert a coin (press Select or a mapped key to simulate coin insertion) and start playing.
