Action Fighter (FD1089A 317-0018)

Action Fighter puts players in control of a driver navigating varied terrain and engaging enemy forces across multiple levels. Starting on a motorcycle, the game progresses to include vehicles like sportscars, beach buggies, boats, helicopters, and even Formula-1 racers—each fully armed for combat. Players shoot down pursuing vehicles and gun emplacements as they advance through increasingly challenging stages. The helicopter sequences introduce a vertically scrolling shooter perspective reminiscent of games like Xevious, while earlier levels maintain an overhead driving view similar to Spy Hunter. Two players can participate simultaneously, competing to achieve the highest score in this action-packed experience. Released by Sega in 1986 and running on their System 16A hardware, Action Fighter offers a unique blend of vehicle combat and scrolling shooter gameplay accessible through an 8-way joystick and two buttons.
