==Story==
 +
In the year 2030, Earth is suddenly attacked by the Mega Load Masters. Charles K. Takeda had foreseen this event and prepared for it by moving his family to an island in the Pacific and developing a futuristic weapon called the "Buster System," which is capable of deconstructing matter by amplifying human mind waves. He created two aircraft armed with Buster Systems, Buster 1 and Buster 2, and trained his children, Holly and Mike, to pilot them.

Pressing {{B}} shoots and can be held down for rapidfire; some powerups depend on rapidfire. Button {{A}} also shoots but holding {{A}} will charge a flash attack which damages everything on screen. Once it is fully charged, release {{A}} to perform the attack; the player must then wait for the charge bar to empty (it will display a black bar telling how much time is remaining) before it is possible to charge another. Powerups can be found by destroying barrels scattered throughout each level.

The game is a horizontally scrolling shoot-'em-up where players take control of Buster Fighter starships in their efforts to destroy a mysterious mechanical fortress orbiting the planet. The fighters can equip one of seven supplementary weapons in addition to their normal shot. Two players can play cooperatively by choosing the Twin Set Up option from the title screen.
 +
 
 +
The ship moves in any direction with the D-Pad. In the outer space stages, the ship continues to drift in the direction it was last moved because of the lack of gravity. The ship fires its normal shot with {{B}}, which can be held for rapid-fire. The power of the normal shot can be upgraded multiple times by collecting power-ups. The ship is also equipped with a screen-clearing special weapon called the Buster Flash, which is used by holding {{C}} to charge the Buster Meter, then releasing the button when the bar is full. The player must briefly wait for the weapon to cool down before it can be charged again. The player can also charge the bar by holding {{A}}, which simultaneously fires the normal shot.
 +
 
 +
The ship is downed when it is hit by enemy fire or collides with an enemy or terrain. It respawns in place as long as the player has an extra life remaining, at baseline weapon strength and without any supplementary weapon. The game ends if the player runs out of lives but can be continued as long as there are credits remaining. In two-player games, both players have separate lives but share credits. The game has four difficulty levels (Easy, Normal, Hard, and Hardest). Players can choose the number of initial lives and credits from the options before starting the game.

Both home ports are pretty faithful, with the Mega Drive one being closer to the original game than the [[PC Engine]] version. The Mega Drive port runs full-screen, features more detailed graphics, keeps most of the arcade version's parallax, and has better sound effects. The PC Engine port features a slightly expanded ending.

Air Buster: Trouble Specialty Raid Unit is a 1990 arcade shoot-'em-up by Kaneko which was subsequently ported to the PC Engine in 1990 and to the Sega Mega Drive in 1991. The PC Engine and Mega Drive ports were renamed Aero Blasters: Trouble Specialty Raid Unit (エアロブラスターズ) in Japan.

Story

In the year 2030, Earth is suddenly attacked by the Mega Load Masters. Charles K. Takeda had foreseen this event and prepared for it by moving his family to an island in the Pacific and developing a futuristic weapon called the "Buster System," which is capable of deconstructing matter by amplifying human mind waves. He created two aircraft armed with Buster Systems, Buster 1 and Buster 2, and trained his children, Holly and Mike, to pilot them.

Gameplay

Air Buster, Item Spread.png

Item spread

The game is a horizontally scrolling shoot-'em-up where players take control of Buster Fighter starships in their efforts to destroy a mysterious mechanical fortress orbiting the planet. The fighters can equip one of seven supplementary weapons in addition to their normal shot. Two players can play cooperatively by choosing the Twin Set Up option from the title screen.

The ship moves in any direction with the D-Pad. In the outer space stages, the ship continues to drift in the direction it was last moved because of the lack of gravity. The ship fires its normal shot with B, which can be held for rapid-fire. The power of the normal shot can be upgraded multiple times by collecting power-ups. The ship is also equipped with a screen-clearing special weapon called the Buster Flash, which is used by holding C to charge the Buster Meter, then releasing the button when the bar is full. The player must briefly wait for the weapon to cool down before it can be charged again. The player can also charge the bar by holding A, which simultaneously fires the normal shot.

The ship is downed when it is hit by enemy fire or collides with an enemy or terrain. It respawns in place as long as the player has an extra life remaining, at baseline weapon strength and without any supplementary weapon. The game ends if the player runs out of lives but can be continued as long as there are credits remaining. In two-player games, both players have separate lives but share credits. The game has four difficulty levels (Easy, Normal, Hard, and Hardest). Players can choose the number of initial lives and credits from the options before starting the game.
