Wild Pilot
狂野飞行员
Wild Pilot is an arcade action game released by Jaleco in 1992. Players control a fighter aircraft viewed from a behind-the-plane perspective, piloting through stages filled with enemy aircraft, ground forces, and aerial obstacles. The gameplay involves maneuvering the plane left and right while shooting down waves of enemies using primary fire and bomb attacks. Stages progress through varied environments, and players must dodge incoming fire while managing limited continues. The game draws on familiar shoot-em-up mechanics adapted to an action-oriented format with a cockpit-style camera angle that gives it a slightly different feel compared to traditional vertical or horizontal scrolling shooters of the same era.
