Air Buster[a] is a 1990 horizontally scrolling shooter arcade video game developed by Kaneko.

Air Buster received a favorable reception for its visuals, sound effects and gameplay, although complaints were directed at the difficulty, which was deemed "too easy" by numerous publications.

The Sega Genesis release was ported over to the "Project EGG" digital storefront in 2014, which remained exclusive to Japan.

There is also the Border item which surrounds the front of the ship, keeping it from crashing into foreground objects.

[14] MegaTech magazine gave the game 78%, commenting on the "excellent graphics, sound and playability", but criticising the low challenge factor.
