>not making shoot-em-up, the most bernd game imaginable
you're playing as a fighter jet pilot
there's a nes style intro, but more advanced (bigger resolution, like in indie games)
basically it shows some commieblock district with a distant field/commieblocks on the horizon, then shortly it shows the plane
the mission is simple just destroy targets lol
you're plane is modified MiG29, it is connected to the ground / point by the long, fat power coords, because it is main weapon is a powerful laser that can fire after some delay
the laser is connected to the ground point which is ether nuclear reactor (stationary) (then the power coords are longer) or it is a fast truck or railroad train / platform with an on-board reactor, (but it is probably less powerful)
the mig also can land on the ground and have tracks instead of its engine blocks, so it will be like a ground tank for a while, its kind of like a transformer except it doesn't really transform, it is just equipped with tracks (optional)
also large powercorded objects / vehicles is not a new idea, they exist IRL
