最后手段
Last Resort is an action arcade game developed by SNK and released in 1992. Players control a helicopter gunship, flying vertically through scrolling stages filled with enemy aircraft and ground installations. The game features progressive difficulty across multiple missions, with players managing ammunition and power-ups while destroying waves of adversaries. Controls involve directional movement and firing mechanics typical of vertical shooters. Each stage culminates in boss encounters requiring pattern recognition and precise timing. The game emphasizes reflexes and tactical weapon selection as players navigate hazardous terrain.
