Arcade Archives: P-47

P-47: The Phantom Fighter is a 1988 horizontally scrolling shooter video game developed by NMK and published by Jaleco for arcades. Set during World War II, players control a Republic P-47 Thunderbolt fighter aircraft to face against the Nazis, who are occupying multiple countries around the world. Its gameplay involves destroying waves of enemies, picking up power-ups and new weapons, and destroying bosses. It ran on the Mega System 1 hardware. P-47: The Phantom Fighter was ported to home consoles and personal computers; a conversion for the Sega Mega Drive was in development, but did not receive an official release until 2025 by City Connection, Jaleco's successor.
