In 1988 P-47: The Phantom Fighter was released in arcades. It was developed by NMK and published by Jaleco. In 1989 ports appeared on the Amiga, Amstrad CPC, DOS, Atari ST, Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum under the name P-47: The Thunderbolt in Europe. A version on the Japanese Mega Drive was scheduled to be released as P-47 II: The Freedom Star, but it was ultimately cancelled, so it never saw an official release... until today!
This re-release is named P-47 II MD and features new box art by Tankro Kato, known for his illustrations on Hasegawa model kits. This updated version contains a new sound test mode and more refined graphics. There are a myriad of weapon upgrades and a hyper attack that will clear all enemies and projectiles from the screen, in case of emergency. This is the first time this game has been released with this version compatible with the North American SEGA Genesis® and PAL Mega Drive along with most third party consoles. This is a real treat for shooter fans who can finally experience this game that was almost forgotten.

What is different between this version and the one released in Japan?
The main difference is the lining and reversible inlay graphics for the game case. Additionally, all material is in English rather than Japanese. Finally, the game shell fits perfectly on the North American SEGA Genesis® and the European PAL Mega Drive without any problems.
