Before bullet hell shooters became a staple of arcades, Aero Fighters (Neo Geo) — also known as Sonic Wings — soared onto the scene in 1992 and delivered one of the most stylish and accessible vertical shooters of its era. Developed by Video System, this fast-paced shmup combined tight gameplay, colorful sprite work, and a cast of quirky international pilots, turning it into a fan-favorite that still stands strong decades later.
