Scramble Formation (スクランブル・フォーメーション Sukuranburu Fōmēshon) is a vertical scrolling shooter game released by Taito in Japanese arcades in 1986, a year after it was launched for the MSX2 computer.
In the game, the player controls a red propeller-driven airplane, flying over the city of Tokyo. He's able to shot and capture other red, smaller planes, which then will follow the player in formation.
The player can choose between 3 formations: the first is able to shoot both air-to-air and air-to-ground projectiles, the second only air-to-air (but on a larger area), the third only air-to-ground (but on a larger area as well).
The game is divided in areas, depicting key places in Tokyo, such as Shinjuku, Akasaka, and Ginza. There are no clearly defined "levels", but at some points the player is faced by a giant mothership, which can be shot down by hitting its engines.
