Aurail is a scrolling shoot 'em up arcade game that landed in 1990. Developed by Westone and published by Sega, this title puts you in control of a tank-like mecha. It originally hit arcade cabinets in the US, and the 'set 3, US, unprotected' version here refers to a specific ROM dump from those machines. You pilot a mecha through side-scrolling stages, blasting waves of enemies and collecting power-ups that boost your shields. A standout mechanic is the remote attack drone, which you can deploy to engage foes from a safer distance. Boss fights punctuate each level, and the game throws in tunnel sections with a first-person perspective to shake up the action. Compared to other arcade shooters of its era, Aurail is a solid but not groundbreaking entry. The drone gimmick and the shift to first-person tunnels give it some personality, and it remains a fun pick for fans of old-school horizontal shooters. It's a neat slice of early-90s arcade design, worth a few credits if you enjoy the genre.

How to play Aurail online

Getting Started Drop a coin by pressing Enter to start. You control your mecha with the Arrow Keys, and hit S to fire your main weapon. Collect the floating power-ups to increase your shield strength - your health bar is shown at the top. The game scrolls automatically, so focus on dodging enemy fire and their patterns. The remote attack drone is a key tool. It can be deployed to attack independently, but the exact button for that may require some experimentation (likely Z or A, depending on your mapping). Use it to thin out crowds or hit enemies behind obstacles. Each level ends with a boss, and you must destroy it to advance. The tunnel levels switch to a first-person view where you steer through corridors and shoot at oncoming targets - treat these like a brief rail shooter segment. If you get stuck, remember that many enemies drop score bonuses or extra shields. Prioritize survival and learn attack patterns, especially during boss fights. There is no continue system in the standard arcade mode, so make each life count.
