Flying Tiger
飞虎
Flying Tiger is a side-scrolling action game released in 1992 by Dooyong for arcade hardware. Players control a fighter aircraft, flying horizontally through enemy-filled stages while shooting down waves of opposing planes, ground targets, and various aerial threats. The game supports two-player simultaneous co-op, allowing a second pilot to join the action. Players can collect power-ups dropped by enemies to enhance their firepower, including spread shots and missile upgrades. The stages progress through different combat environments, with enemy formations growing more aggressive as players advance. Boss encounters appear at key points, requiring players to focus fire while dodging concentrated attack patterns. The controls follow standard shooter conventions: a joystick for movement and buttons for firing and launching special weapons.
