USAAF Mustang is a shmup developed and published by NMK in 1990. It is a spiritual sequel to the earlier P-47, and was called P-51 during development to reflect this.

There is a port released for the Sega Mega Drive and Genesis called Fire Mustang.

Gameplay Overview

Controls

---

USAAF Mustang is a two-button game.

• A: Shot (with internal autofire)
• B: Bomb

It's worthwhile to have an autofire A button at 30Hz, as it is much faster than the internal autofire.

Rank

---

Rank in USAAF Mustang is tied to number of stages cleared time and increases by +1 every stage cleared. It only affects the number of enemy bullets. Dying reduces rank by -1. After the 1st loop, rank is fixed at 3 (maximum rank) and cannot be lowered again.

Loops

---

USAAF Mustang loops infinitely. Any loop after the first one is a simple repetition of the second loop. Therefore, the difficulty stays the same.
