空牙
[b][i]Kuhga - Operation Code: "Vapor Trail"[/i][/b] (空牙) [*1] and usually simply referred to as [b][i]Vapor Trail[/i][/b], is a 1989 [[science fiction]] shoot 'em up arcade [[video game]] developed and published by [[Data East]]. It was released outside of Japan as [b][i]Vapor Trail: Hyper Offense Formation[/i][/b]. 

The game features 2 players controlling advanced jet fighters simultaneously for battle across numerous levels. There are 3 types of jets varying from different classes of speeds and firepower. The [[XF/AV-01 Silph]] is the midrange plane with the most balance, while the slow [[XAV-02 Valkyrie]] carries the most firepower, and the experimental [[XFV-03 Seylen]] jet is capable of flying at the highest Mach speed.

[i]Kuhga[/i] was later ported to the [[Sega Mega Drive]]/Sega Genesis in 1991 by Telenet Japan. This port was very accurate to the arcade counterpart despite much stricter hardware and color limitations.

[i]Vapor Trail[/i] was followed by two shooter sequels: the [[mecha]] shooter game [[Wolf Fang]] and another [[aircraft]] shooter called [b][i]Skull Fang[/i][/b] ([[Kuhga Gaiden]]).

[*1]: Danbooru's Romanization of 空牙 is "Kuuga", but the game screenshot spells it "KUHGA".
