- TRIVIA -


Released in February 1990.


1941 - Counter Attack was the first Shoot'em Up to add +1 to the score when a continue is used.


Here is all the official bosses names :

* Stage 1 - Leviathan

* Stage 2 - Bismarck

* Stage 3 - V3Rocket

* Stage 4 - Krote

* Stage 5 - Leviathan

* Stage 6 - Gotha


Historical inaccuracies - V3Rocket : The real V3 was a Super Gun, not a rocket. Furthermore, 'V-weapons' would not appear until 1944.


Default high-score table :

1ST 30000 CAP

2ND 29000 COM

3RD 28000 CAP

4TH 27000 COM

5TH 26000 oO2


Pony Canyon / Scitron released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Final Fight : G.S.M. Capcom 3 - PCCB-00030) on 21/05/1990.


- UPDATES -


At the 5th position on the high score table, the Japanese version says 'j01' instead of 'o02'.


- TIPS AND TRICKS -


* Hint : Your airplane doesn't lose energy when it collides with cliff-walls, buildings etc. Instead it will rotate a bit after such collisions. That means you can tumble up and down these obstacles (keep on colliding), and if you keep shooting, your shots will go in all directions. This way you can clear up a lot of enemies when you are under pressure (while rolling you are invincible).
