Bullet is an arcade horizontal scrolling shooter originally released by Sega in 1987. It runs on Sega's System 16 hardware with the FD1094 security chip, and the build label '317-0041' refers to a specific encrypted ROM revision. The game was a typical arcade cabinet found in Japanese and international arcades during the late 80s. You pilot a small fighter jet through multiple stages filled with enemy aircraft, ground turrets, and terrain obstacles. The core loop is straightforward: dodge incoming fire while destroying waves of enemies and collecting power-up icons to upgrade your weapons. A limited smart bomb stock can clear the screen in a pinch, and the challenge ramps up quickly as enemy patterns become denser. For retro shooter enthusiasts, Bullet represents a solid but unremarkable entry in Sega's lineup - it's no Fantasy Zone or After Burner, but it offers tight controls and a decent difficulty curve. If you enjoy no-frills arcade shooters from the golden age, this is worth a credit, though it's unlikely to blow you away. Its main claim to fame is the obscure FD1094 protection variant, making it a piece of arcade hardware history.

How to play Bullet online

Insert a coin (or press 5 in the emulator) to add credits, then press 1 or Enter to start. Use the arrow keys to move your ship across the screen and X (A button) to fire your main weapon. You can also press S (B button) to deploy a smart bomb when you have one in stock. The goal is to survive each stage and defeat the end-level boss. Collect power-up icons that appear after destroying certain enemies; these upgrade your gun, add options, or replenish bombs. Enemy fire is relentless, so focus on dodging while shooting. There are no in-game menus to navigate, so you can jump straight into the action after starting.
