U.N. Squadron is an arcade horizontal shoot-'em-up developed by Capcom and later ported to the SNES. It's a video game adaptation of the 1979 manga Area 88, and known as such in Japan. Although the US version goes by a different name, the references to the manga remain, even keeping the names of the cast, featuring Shin, Mickey, and Greg of the as playable pilots, and McCoy and Saki as support characters.The games share very little with the original series (although it did use bounties as a way for the player to buy Power Ups between levels). The arcade version features three different types of planes assigned for each character: Shin flew the F-20, Mickey the F-14, and Greg the A-10. The SNES version differentiates characters by how quickly they leveled up the main weapon and how quickly they recovered from damage; all characters start with the same plane (the F-8E Crusader, Shin's starting plane in the series). It also eschews the arcade's linear stage progression with an expanding mission map, the ability to buy other planes (including the Tomcat and Thunderbolt), and moving stages such as supply convoy raids and bomber interceptions. It got an Spiritual Successor in the shape of Carrier Airwing, when Capcom lost the rights of the manga along the way.In 1995, Family Soft released the Area 88: Etranger 1995 video game in Japan. Players can select from multiple pilots, including Saki, Shin, Mickey, Greg, Hoover, Sela, and others. | |

Not the Intended Use | |
| U.N. Squadron (Video Game) / int_20e20e99 | comment |
Not the Intended Use: Bombs can be used to destroy the annoying AV-8 Harrier enemy which enters from the left edge of the screen and cannot be attacked normally until it starts flying into the middle of the screen. This is only possible in this version, as the arcade version restricts you to "homing missile"-type weapons for this particular mission. | |

Forced Level-Grinding: The game is rare shmup example; your chances of making it all the way through are highly dependent on how soon you can store up a million dollars for the F200 Efreet, so be prepared to kill a lot of convoys (the only infinite source of money). | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| U.N. Squadron (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: The shields in the arcade version. While a bit costly, they can help improve survivability by letting you take 3 or 5 extra hits. The Bomb sub-weapon. It doesn't do anything really fancy — it just drops under your plane to deal some damage — but its starting ammo is quite high (even in the SNES version, where you start missions with 50 Bombs), it's a useful anti-ground weapon, and in the SNES version it's very cheap and almost every plane can equip it. | |

Life Meter: The arcade version has a more traditional life meter. In the SNES version, taking damage will lower your life, but not before shortly putting you into "DANGER" mode in which taking a second hit during that time will destroy you instantly. If your life drops too low, you will permanently remain in DANGER mode until you die, clear the stage, or restore your life. | |

Crippling Overspecialization: The A-10A Thunderbolt. It's primarily designed for air-to-ground combat; its main gun fires both forwards and diagonally downwards, and in the SNES version its compatible weapons are all anti-ground weapons. This unfortunately makes it lousy for air-to-air combat. | |

| U.N. Squadron (Video Game) / int_9c7e3137 | comment |
Hyperspace Arsenal: In the arcade version, your plane can carry way more special weapon ammunition than it seems like it should be able to. One stage lets you buy a pack of 140 missiles, and the final stage allows you to buy a pack of 200 Super Shells. While the SNES version tones down the ammo limits, you can carry several different weapon types; the F200 in particular can use all of them. | |

Continuity Nod | |
| U.N. Squadron (Video Game) / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: In the manga, McCoy gets his hands on an F-14 Tomcat destined for Iran and sells the jet to Mickey. After the first F-14 is destroyed, McCoy secures a second one for an overjoyed Mickey. Guess which jet Mickey flies in the arcade game? In the manga, desperation drives Greg to purchase an A-10 Thunderbolt after a disastrous battle with Farina's land carrier. In the arcade game, Greg flies an A-10. The Japanese version of the arcade game features an extra stage in which the player must shoot bombs off of a civilian plane. This is exactly what Shin and Mickey were sent to do in the manga, when a terrorist attached bombs to the exterior of a civilian plane carrying Saki and Ryoko. In the manga, Farina menaces Asran's pro-monarchy forces with his land-based aircraft carrier before offering it to the anti-government forces. In the arcade and SNES games, a land carrier is the final boss of the desert stage. | |

Just Plane Wrong: The F-111 can carry the Phoenix missile, which the F-111 (primarily a ground-attack plane, the Phoenix being a dedicated long-range air-to-air missile) never carried, although it was designed for the closely-related F-111B that was intended to be used as an interceptor by the Navy. Strangely, the Phoenix is not available on the F-14, the only production aircraft to ever utilize the missile in Real Life. | |

Composite Character | |
| U.N. Squadron (Video Game) / int_e4965307 | comment |
Composite Character: The intro screen of the American arcade version states that Greg trained NATO pilots back in Europe. This was not part of Greg's background in the manga, but it was part of Hoover's background. | |

Load-Bearing Boss | |
| U.N. Squadron (Video Game) / int_e4cf1ef0 | comment |
Load-Bearing Boss: Defeating the final boss causes the entire enemy base to start exploding, followed by the player-character having to Outrun the Fireball in the final cutscene. | |

Nerf | |
| U.N. Squadron (Video Game) / int_e545e190 | comment |
Nerf: In this version, your sub-weapons get less ammo, as a tradeoff for being able to buy any sub-weapons your plane is compatible with for any mission as well as being able to carry multiple sub-weapons at once. The lifebar system has been revised to kill the player if they take two hits in a row too quickly, unlike the arcade version where the player can keep taking hits as long as they have the health for it (albeit not a lot of it). To prevent you from just marching to the end of the game so easily (as this isn't an arcade game that costs coins to play), every time you die you exit the stage and have to start all over if you want another go, rather than just being able to respawn where you left off. | |

Wolfpack Boss | |
| U.N. Squadron (Video Game) / int_e57bd3dd | comment |
Wolfpack Boss: The mission to take down the enemy Wolfpack mercenary squadron has three F-117s as the boss. They have an annoying tendency to sneak up behind you. | |

Battleship Raid | |
| U.N. Squadron (Video Game) / int_e76151c3 | comment |
Battleship Raid: The final boss of the arcade version is a huge battleship, fought in a way somewhat similar to the Cerberus from Thunder Force III. On a smaller scale, there's the naval battleship Minks and that land carrier in the desert. | |

No-Gear Level: The special mission in the Japanese arcade version forces you to play it without being able to buy special weapons. | |

| U.N. Squadron (Video Game) / int_f89f164a | comment |
Purposely Overpowered: The F200 Efreet can use any weapon in the game and can equip more ammo for each weapon than any other plane. Of course, there's a catch: It's the most expensive plane in the game. | |
