Enemy forces attack a small South Pacific island. Communications lines are cut. Military bases destroyed. All is lost, when... from out of the smoky haze, a phantom biplane emerges.

The people watch in awed amazement as a gleaming "Fire Shark" flies dead-on toward their enemies. Inside, the ghostly aviator begins his assault against those who threaten Earth - his home from another time and place.

You are "FIRE SHARK!" Within your control is the awesome power of air-to-ground / air-to-air missiles, rapid-fire machine guns, free-falling bombs and high-tech lasers. Only your skill can safeguard the destiny of millions. Defeat the enemy forces and accept your place of honor. Die, and the world dies with you.
