Flying Shark

Flying Shark is a legendary vertical scrolling arcade shooter developed by Taito and first released in 1987. Known for its fast pacing, heavy firepower, and unforgiving enemy patterns, it became a staple of arcade halls and later home systems.

In this video, we play Flying Shark using the MiSTer FPGA via a newly available core arriving in 2026. The MiSTer FPGA recreates original arcade hardware at the logic level, delivering low latency, cycle accurate gameplay that closely matches the real cabinet experience.

This episode features full gameplay with live commentary, covering mechanics, enemy patterns, scoring strategy, and what made Flying Shark stand out during the golden age of arcade shooters.
