G-LOC: Air Battle is a 1990 air combat arcade game by Sega. The title refers to "G-force induced Loss Of Consciousness". The game puts the player in a fighter plane, dog fighting other planes. Once the player takes too many hits or the game-timer runs out the game is over. The player earns more time and advances stages by achieving goals that are set each stage. The player initially starts with limited armament which is replenished by completing missions. Players choose what targets to destroy, like ships, jet fighters, or tanks. Eventually, players will attack bosses such as War Balloon, the... Bomber, and the final adversary, an enemy ace who uses the same plane as the player, except with enhanced durability and strength. The player controls an experimental aircraft in a mission to eliminate enemy planes. During the game the player is attacked from the front and back. The game is played most of the time in a first person perspective, however once locked by an enemy missile the perspective changes to third person behind the player's plane to allow the player to perform evasive manoeuvers.
