One of the great things about Time Pilot is the sense of power your ship has. You're planted at the center of the screen and can turn in every direction, spraying bullets almost as fast as you can hit the button, unlike a lot of shooters from the period that would limit you to one to three shots at a time before you had to wait for the shots to either make contact with an enemy or leave the screen. So you just have this great sense of being able to tear through entire air forces like it's nothing, although the game of course gets more challenging as you go farther into the future and enemies become more advanced, more maneuverable and sending more homing missiles at you.
It's also a very nice-looking and sounding game. Colorful without being garish, flying behind parallax-scrolling clouds in the sky, clearly drawn enemies, and punchy impacts.
