Sonic Boom (ソニック・ブーム Sonikku Būmu) is a 1987 vertical scrolling shooter arcade game created by Sega. The player, piloting an airplane fighter, begins with a single gun (as with most scrolling shooters) and can power up by collecting power ups dropped by certain colored enemies. The power ups can add a ship to the fighter's left and right sides and increase shot power and range. They can also drop bombs, which can wipe out all weak enemies on screen and do massive damage to stronger enemies.
