Burning Force/World 1-1

Welcome to the game. Once the background has appeared (in front of Hiromi), four pairs of Zako-021 will hover into view from the left and right sides of the screen, then come hovering towards you, while firing projectiles at you; once you have fired a shot at each of these to kill them, you will come to two tall rocks in the centre of the screen, with a "W" powerup between them. Once you have fired enough shots at both of the tall rocks to destroy them, and collected the "W" powerup seven Zako-001 will emerge from the water at the bottom of the screen and hover towards you while firing projectiles at you - and once you have fired a shot at both of them to kill them, you will come to four more tall rocks in the centre of the screen with an "L" powerup between the first two, and an "H" powerup between the second two. Once you have fired enough shots at each of the tall rocks to destroy them, and collected the powerup of your choice, eight Zako-004 will come hovering towards you, from the right side of the screen; once you have fired a shot at each of these to kill them, eight more Zako-004 will come hovering towards you (from the left side of the screen). Once you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, two more pairs of Zako-021 will hover into view from the left and right sides of the screen, then come hovering towards you while firing projectiles at you as two more Zako-001 emerge from the water at the bottom of the screen and hover towards you while firing projectiles at you - and after you have fired a shot at each of them to kill them, you will come to two more tall rocks in the centre of the screen with a second "W" powerup between them. Once you have fired enough shots at both of the tall rocks to destroy them and collected this second "W" powerup, the area's boss character will emerge from the water at the bottom of the screen and try to stay ahead of you while firing homing missiles at you - and once you have fired enough shots at the boss to defeat it, it will explode, and Hiromi will move to the centre of the screen as the text "AREA 1 CLEARED" appears above her and the game "area clear" jingle is heard from the Yamaha YM-2151. You will then receive 10 bonus points for every tenth of a second you have remaining, then go on to Area 2.
