Time Pilot[a] is a multidirectional shooter arcade video game designed by Yoshiki Okamoto and released by Konami in 1982. It was distributed in the United States by Centuri,[4] and by Atari Ireland in Europe and the Middle East.[2] While engaging in aerial combat, the player-controlled jet flies across open airspace that scrolls indefinitely in all directions.[8][9] Each level is themed to a different time period. Home ports for the Atari 2600, MSX, and ColecoVision were released in 1983.
A top-down sequel, Time Pilot '84, was released in arcades in 1984. It drops the time travel motif and instead takes place over a futuristic landscape.
Gameplay
[edit]Players assume the role of a pilot of a futuristic fighter jet trying to rescue fellow pilots trapped in different time eras. In each level, players battle enemy aircraft and then a stronger aircraft. Players' fighter jet is in the center of the screen at all times. Players eventually battle a mothership of the time period they are in; once the mothership is defeated, they move onto the next time period. Parachuting pilots will occasionally appear and award players points if collected.
There are five levels: 1910, 1940, 1970, 1982/1983[b] and 2001. After the fifth level is finished, the game repeats thereafter.
Extra lives are given at 10,000 points, and per 50,000 scored up to 960,000; thereafter, the game goes to "survival of the fittest" mode.
Fighters are destroyed if they collide into bullets, enemy ships, or missiles. Game ends if the last fighter is destroyed.
Development
[edit]According to his account, Yoshiki Okamoto's proposal for Time Pilot was initially rejected by his boss at Konami, who assigned Okamoto to work on a driving game instead. Okamoto secretly gave instructions to his programmer to work on his idea, while pretending to be working on a driving game in front of his boss.[10]
Reception
[edit]In Japan, the annual Game Machine chart listed Time Pilot as the fifth highest-grossing arcade video game of 1982.[11] Game Machine later listed Time Pilot on their June 1, 1983 issue as being the eighteenth most popular arcade title of the month.[12]
In the United States, the game topped the Play Meter arcade earnings chart in February 1983.[13] The Amusement & Music Operators Association (AMOA) later listed it among the thirteen highest-earning arcade games of 1983.[14]
Computer and Video Games magazine gave the arcade game a generally favorable review upon release.[15]
