Genesis-A-Day: Air Diver

Upon finding a magic lamp, Alex rubs out a genie. Obviously, Alex wishes for a ton of genesis games. In this feature, Alex documents the results of that wish.

Time played:2 minutes.

Planes shot down: 5.

While normally I would write how shitty this game is.  I think I can see where it would appeal to a young me.  The cockpit of this plane looks cool.  And there's a great boot up sequence where you cockpit closes right before you take off.  This plays like an After Burner clone, but I think the cockpit gives it a more exciting feel.  Also I like that planes can actually come from behind you, rather than always from the front.  You can't actually turn around, so you just have to dodge around like an idiot till they just as stupidly fly by so you can shoot them.   I'm still impressed by how cool the cockpit is, even though it takes up half the screen the entire time.  Wait... why is this game called Air Diver, that doesn't make sense.
