P-47: The Freedom Fighter

P-47: The Freedom Fighter is a shooter first created in 1988 by Jaleco for coin-op machines. The plot of the program takes us back to the times of World War II. The player, as the fearless pilot of the title fighter, is sent with a suicidal mission to stop the numerous forces of the opponent.

We observe our plane from the side, just like in another hita referring to the theme of the Great War - Wings of Fury. The aim of the struggle is to shoot down as many enemies as possible, both those attacking from the ground and those attacking from the air. Enemies have a powerful firepower, so in addition to constantly pressing the trigger button, you should also devote a lot of attention to the spitting between the bullets spitting out in your direction.

You are not alone in the fight against the tormentor. From some wrecks there are bonuses that cause the addition of a more effective means of extermination to the classic arsenal (machine gun), e.g. a rocket or a bomb used for quick annihilation of ground units. If lonely gameplay seems boring and too difficult to play, you can invite a friend to help - the program offers the possibility of playing multiplayer for two people, of course at one computer.

The audiovisual setting of the programme in comparison with the original and the conversion to Amiga computers, presents itself on average. The colour poverty that comes with EGA cards, as well as the use of the Speaker's PC as a sound source. Nevertheless, P-47: The Freedom Fighter can be enjoyed, mainly due to the huge dynamics of the game and numerous bonuses.
