Battle Squadron is a vertically scrolling shooter for the Amiga computer platform and ported a year later to the Sega Megadrive console, for one or two players. It is a sequel to Hybris. Pieces from the game's soundtrack are frequently remixed by game music enthusiasts.
Famous quotes containing the words battle and/or squadron:
“Any coward can fight a battle when he’s sure of winning, but give me the man who has pluck to fight when he’s sure of losing. That’s my way, sir; and there are many victories worse than a defeat.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“Well gentlemen, this is it. This is what we’ve been waiting for. Tonight your target is Tokyo. And you’re gonna play ‘em the Star Spangled Banner with two-ton bombs. All you’ve got to do is to remember what you’ve learned and follow your squadron leaders. They’ll get you in, and they’ll get you out. Any questions? All right that’s all. Good luck to you. Give ‘em hell.”
—Dudley Nichols (1895–1960)
