Pilot Kids (Model 2B, Revision A)

Pilot Kids is a two-player horizontal scrolling shooter released in 1998 by Psikyo and running on Sega Model 2B hardware. Players control child pilots maneuvering small aircraft through vibrant, side-scrolling environments filled with enemy projectiles and obstacles. The game builds upon the foundation established by its predecessor, Pilot Kids (Model 2A), offering a similar gameplay experience with refinements to level design and presentation. As players progress, they’ll face waves of adversaries while navigating intricate landscapes. Cooperative play is central to the experience, allowing two people to coordinate attacks and share the burden of avoiding incoming fire. The game's visuals are characterized by bright colors and detailed sprites, characteristic of Psikyo shooters from this era.
