A.S.P. Air Strike Patrol
A.S.P. Air Strike Patrol |
---|
Also known as: Desert Fighter (EU), Desert Fighter: Suna no Arashi Sakusen (JP) This game has hidden development-related text. |
An isometric building bombing game with planes flown by venomous Egyptian cobras. Or people. Can't remember, really. Also well-known for the fact that some emulators, not to mention the Super NES Jr., cannot properly draw shadows underneath the craft.
Unused Settings
To do: Is there a more legit way (aside from the debug menu) to access these? Cheat code, maybe? |
Using the Pro Action Replay code 7E00A204 adds an unused "Mania" difficulty and "Cockpit C" control scheme to the game setup screen. The Cockpit C scheme is called "Heli" by the debug menu.
Debug Menu
To do: More detail about the different options from someone who knows more about the game. |
Hold down L+R+Select on controller 2 at the beginning of a sortie to access the debug menu, which lets you customize the various parameters of the current mission.
