Looping
飞机环绕
Looping is an action arcade game released in 1982 by Venture Line. Players pilot a small plane through a series of obstacle-filled stages, navigating tight corridors, loops, and hazards while shooting enemies and avoiding collisions. The game takes its name from the looping sections where the plane travels in a circular path, requiring precise timing. Controls involve steering the aircraft and firing a weapon to eliminate threats along the route. Stages increase in difficulty, introducing more obstacles and enemies as players progress. The game supports two players, who take turns competing for high scores. Looping ran on dedicated arcade hardware and was distributed by various operators, making it a recognizable title in early 1980s arcades.
