About

<h2>Overview</h2><p>Vapor Trail, or Vapor Trail: Hyper Offence Formation, is a vertical shoot 'em up from Data East that was later ported to the Sega Genesis. It features a trio of jet fighters - each with a difference balance of speed and offense - as they attempt to take back New York City from the terrorist organization Ragnarok (renamed DAGGER for the North American port). It is the first game in the <a href="/kuhga/3025-2893/" data-ref-id="3025-2893">Kuhga/Kuuga</a> trilogy of shoot 'em ups, though the only one to see a localization.</p><p>In addition to power-ups that increase their firepower or change its behavior, the player can also resort to a damaging roll that also protects the ship from damage. This roll maneuver must be left to recharge between uses, precluding the ability to spam it during boss fights.</p><p>The Sega Genesis home version, published in North America by Renovation, included two player co-op and "digitized" sound effects.</p>
