Hack description

Area 88 EN+ is a retranslation of U.N. Squadron that keeps the original Japanese name of the game. In addition to the new translation and title screen logo, this hack rebalances the mission rewards and plane prices to encourage the use of the mid tier fighters, the F-14D Tomcat and A-10A Thunderbolt II, which most players skipped before. Both are fun planes that lead to different strategies in the mid game levels.

Additionally, this patch unlocks the gamer difficulty option and changes the firing mode to full auto fire.

Version 1.03: Now compatible with the FastROM and MSU-1 hacks!

A New Take	Navonod Semaj	2021-07-26	Version 1.01
Having played this game to hell and back over the past (nearly) thirty years, its refreshing to see a changeup, as well as SOMEONE with enough interest in this old classic to play around with it. But it could stand to go a little further. In the interest of making different planes more accessible, it might be worth slashing prices across the board (F-20 at 100k; F-14D, A10-A, YF23 at 200k). Brings them out faster and encourages more toying around. F200 can remain sitting cool at a million, as it's the only plane that's truly OP. Keep it up!
