Level 8: Alien Fighter Gauntlet

• 10-Minute Time Limit
• Fighter Melee Techniques
• Enhanced Stamina
• Alien Combat Techniques

This is an "arcade"-style simulation that introduces the Bugs to the simulator. It only appears in the G, H and I series. You have 10 minutes to kill as many fighters as you can. Random Alien fighters appear rapidly one at a time until there's about five on screen. Once you kill the last fighter in a given wave, a new wave immediately begins to arrive. The more you kill, the higher your score.

You might be joined by a wingman (or even three!) five minutes into this mission. Each wingman who appears pilots a Vampire:

• If you have 41-60 kills, Maestro joins you.
• If you have 61-80 kills, Maniac joins you.
• If you have over 80 kills, Blair himself joins you.
