Gameplay

Take to the skies in Combat Hawk, a cooperative aerial shooter released in 1987 by Sega, originally developed by Sanritsu. Players assume the roles of soldiers piloting aircraft and engaging enemy forces in a reaction-based experience requiring quick reflexes. Using an eight-way joystick for directional control and three buttons for firing from the left, center, or right of your craft, you’ll navigate through challenging environments while battling approaching threats. Combat Hawk is designed for two players, allowing for shared aerial combat. The game utilizes a Zilog Z80 processor and Texas Instruments SN76496 sound chips to deliver its gameplay experience. It provides an immersive first-person perspective as you maneuver your aircraft and engage targets. Released in June of 1987, Combat Hawk offers a straightforward shooter challenge focused on immediate response and cooperative teamwork between players.
