Field Combat vs WarpSpeed

Field Combat is a 1985 sci‑fi shooter where you pilot a missile‑firing warship across a hostile battlefield. As the lone commanding officer you must defeat red forces—helicopters, infantry, tanks—and manage reinforcements with a simple button combo. The game features Richard Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyries” as its soundtrack and includes a UFO enemy that can capture units. Originally released for the Family Computer, it was later re‑released on the Wii Virtual Console in Japan in 2007.

Take control of a starpilot and defend star bases from invading alien warships in a classic 1992 space shooter. Choose from four distinct starfighters—Stinger, Striker, Stalker, or Slasher—and pilot them from a cockpit perspective. Each mission unfolds on a 64‑section map where you must manage ship systems, scan for enemies, and survive asteroid debris. Play through 7 battle scenarios or link them in a 4‑scenario campaign mode, communicating via the Hyperwave Receiver while tracking foes with the Long Range Scanner.
