'''''Burning Force''''' (バーニングフォース) is a 1989 shoot-'em-up by [[Namco]] originally released in the arcades in Japan before seeing a [[Sega Mega Drive]] port released internationally the same year. You play as Hiromi, a graduate of Earth University, who mast pass a six-day final examination of fighting enemies over water to become a Space Fighter.
+
'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' (バーニングフォース) is a [[Sega Mega Drive]] third-person vertical shoot-'em-up developed by [[Nova]]. A port of the titular 1989 [[Namco]] arcade game ''[[wikipedia:Burning Force|Burning Force]]'', it was first published in Japan in October 1990 by Namco themselves, and was later brought to the United States, Europe, and Brazil in the following months.
  
−
The game takes a ''[[Space Harrier]]'' perspective but is much more limited in terms of control. Each day is divided into four areas. Areas 1 and 2 are normal shooting areas where you are on a waterbike on which you may only move left or right. Holding {{up}} speeds up, holding {{down}} slows down, letting go goes back to normal speed. {{A}} shoots your normal weapon, which may be upgraded as in a typical shoot-'em-up. {{B}} shoots missiles which you have a limited supply of.
+
The game is notable for its extensive use of line scrolling to create the illusion of a three-dimensional playfield (in a similar manner to ''[[OutRun]]'') and for its lighthearted tone and synth-rock soundtrack. ''Burning Force'' was well-received by the gaming public, and is one of the more fondly remembered of Namco's early Sega Mega Drive games.  
  
−
Area 3 is a boss area which substitutes the waterbike for a ship that has the same controls, but can fly around the screen a la ''Space Harrier'' (so use {{up}}/{{down}} to move around instead of changing speed). The cutscene that transitions you from the waterbike to the ship shows you the boss's weak points. Area 4 is a bonus round in the ship where the goal is to collect as many points/powerups as possible.

==Story==
 +
Hiromi Tengenji, a 21-year-old cadet at Earth University (or an ensign in the United Galaxy Space Force, UGSF, in the Japanese version), must pass a six-day final examination of fighting enemies over water to become a Space Fighter Pilot. She pilots a futuristic hover bike called the Sign Duck, which can transform into a small fighter craft.

The game is a third-person shooter similar to ''[[Space Harrier]]'' but with more limited control. The player controls Hiromi on an hover bike that can move with {{left}} and {{right}}. It cannot normally move vertically, but stages contain ramps that can launch the Sign Duck upward (usually to collect power-ups). Holding {{up}} speeds up, holding {{down}} slows down, and letting go returns to normal speed. Hiromi shoots her normal weapon with {{A}}, which has unlimited ammunition and can be held for continuous fire, or missiles with {{B}}, which are limited in supply. Hiromi can find power-ups in the stages that upgrade her standard weapon and missiles.

Though Hiromi can only sustain one hit before being destroyed in the arcade version, she has three hit points in this version and loses one each time she takes damage from an enemy. Running into obstacles generally knocks her back or slows her down rather than damaging her. If she loses all of her hit points, she loses a life (as well as any weapon upgrades she may have); the game ends if she runs out of lives. The player can continue the game from any stage up to the most recent one played as long as there are credits remaining. Extra lives are given at certain score thresholds. If Hiromi collects green orbs in the stages, she can exchange five of them for temporary invincibility by pressing {{C}}. Hit points and green orbs are retained between stages.

Each stage represents one day in Hiromi's final examination. Each day is divided into four areas. Areas 1 and 2 are normal shooting areas on an airbike that can only move left and right. Area 3 is a boss area in which the airbike is transformed into a plane with the same controls but with added vertical mobility with {{up}} and {{down}}. This area is preceded by an interlude where Miss Kyoko, Hiromi's instructor, identifies the weak points of the boss. Area 4 is a bonus round in the plane where the goal is to collect as many points and power-ups as possible.

==History==
 +
In the time of its release, an unfortunately common misconception among video game marketers was that games which star women sell more poorly than those which star men. When brought to the United States by [[Sega of America]], the company made a number of attempts to conceal the game's female protagonist from the game's packaging and manual. New cover artwork was commissioned, this time showing ''Burning Force'' being played from the perspective of another character entirely{{fileref|BurningForce MD US Box.jpg}} (while still managing to work Hiromi into the artwork, now seemingly being attacked by players), and the game's manual was carefully reworded to assure gamers they were not playing as a woman.{{fileref|Burningforce md us manual.pdf|page=3}}{{fileref|Burningforce md us manual.pdf|page=5}} Instead, ''Burning Force'' now puts players in control of a separate, nameless protagonist who is training alongside Hiromi{{fileref|Burningforce md us manual.pdf|page=3}} and directly "guiding" her through the tests during gameplay.{{fileref|Burningforce md us manual.pdf|page=5}}{{fileref|BurningForce MD US Box.jpg}}

Burning Force (バーニングフォース) is a Sega Mega Drive third-person vertical shoot-'em-up developed by Nova. A port of the titular 1989 Namco arcade game Burning Force, it was first published in Japan in October 1990 by Namco themselves, and was later brought to the United States, Europe, and Brazil in the following months.

The game is notable for its extensive use of line scrolling to create the illusion of a three-dimensional playfield (in a similar manner to OutRun) and for its lighthearted tone and synth-rock soundtrack. Burning Force was well-received by the gaming public, and is one of the more fondly remembered of Namco's early Sega Mega Drive games.

Story

Hiromi Tengenji, a 21-year-old cadet at Earth University (or an ensign in the United Galaxy Space Force, UGSF, in the Japanese version), must pass a six-day final examination of fighting enemies over water to become a Space Fighter Pilot. She pilots a futuristic hover bike called the Sign Duck, which can transform into a small fighter craft.

Gameplay

Burning Force, Miss Kyoko.png

Miss Kyoko

The game is a third-person shooter similar to Space Harrier but with more limited control. The player controls Hiromi on an hover bike that can move with Left and Right. It cannot normally move vertically, but stages contain ramps that can launch the Sign Duck upward (usually to collect power-ups). Holding Up speeds up, holding Down slows down, and letting go returns to normal speed. Hiromi shoots her normal weapon with A, which has unlimited ammunition and can be held for continuous fire, or missiles with B, which are limited in supply. Hiromi can find power-ups in the stages that upgrade her standard weapon and missiles.

Though Hiromi can only sustain one hit before being destroyed in the arcade version, she has three hit points in this version and loses one each time she takes damage from an enemy. Running into obstacles generally knocks her back or slows her down rather than damaging her. If she loses all of her hit points, she loses a life (as well as any weapon upgrades she may have); the game ends if she runs out of lives. The player can continue the game from any stage up to the most recent one played as long as there are credits remaining. Extra lives are given at certain score thresholds. If Hiromi collects green orbs in the stages, she can exchange five of them for temporary invincibility by pressing C. Hit points and green orbs are retained between stages.

Each stage represents one day in Hiromi's final examination. Each day is divided into four areas. Areas 1 and 2 are normal shooting areas on an airbike that can only move left and right. Area 3 is a boss area in which the airbike is transformed into a plane with the same controls but with added vertical mobility with Up and Down. This area is preceded by an interlude where Miss Kyoko, Hiromi's instructor, identifies the weak points of the boss. Area 4 is a bonus round in the plane where the goal is to collect as many points and power-ups as possible.
