Arcade Archives: Time Pilot is a port of the 80's shooting game Time Pilot. Transport five generations into the future and shoot down enemy ships with a full 360 degrees of motion. Rescue parachuters and take out entire enemy formations to earn a high score! Fly into a battle beyond time and space!
This game has the player travel through five time periods, rescuing stranded fellow pilots. The player must fight off droves of enemy craft while picking up parachuting friendly pilots. Once 56 enemy craft are defeated, initially 25 on the MSX platform and increasing by 5 after each game cycle (finishing the last battle against the UFOs), the player must defeat the mothership for the time period. Once she is destroyed, any remaining enemy craft are also eliminated and the player time-travels to the next level. All the levels have a blue sky and clouds as the background except the last level, which has space and asteroids instead. The specific eras visited, the common enemies, and the motherships are the following:
1910: biplanes and a blimp
1940: WWII monoplanes and a B-25
1970: helicopters and a large, blue CH-46
1982 (Konami version)/1983 (Centuri version): jets and a B-52
2001: UFOs
The mothership is destroyed with seven direct hits. Once all the eras have been visited, the levels start over again but are harder and faster. The Game Boy Advance version of Time Pilot in Konami Arcade Classics includes a hidden sixth era, 1,000,000 BC, where the player must destroy vicious pterodactyls in order to return to the early 20th century.
