U.N. Squadron (1)- Forest Fortress (Hard)

Savestates were NOT used during gameplay.

After several failures in the Wolfpack stage, I decided to start with this one instead. It's a lot more filled with enemies than the last two were, but it's not that hard if you know what to expect. On a side note, I think shooters should use controller buttons to stop shooting, not to start shooting. Why would I ever not want to be shooting, apart from the rare exception where I'm shooting blocks forward to dodge laser beams or something like that? sigh

For the unfamiliar: While there are powerups in U.N. Squadron, they actually function as experience points that increase the power of your basic weapon. These changes are permanent (at least, until game over) and actually transfer between the different ships, should you choose to switch to a new fighter.
