'Medallions' are mystic stones sent from heaven, brought
evolution to human technology and lead tremendous progress to the armories.
To gain their powers which the 'Stones' hold for the promised victory, many
nations fought over the mystic stones and reheated the world of war. Within
all the 'Stones' is the 'Medallion of Wisdom', known as the power source of
all mystic stones, it had enough energy to terminate humanity. The whole
world was in despair. And now, four brave worriers have risen to fly straight
into the combat zone! All four had different reasons, but their ultimate goal
was the same: to destroy the Medallion of Wisdom! Fight to save the
humanity!
Giga Wing is a shoot-em-up set during a fictional war.
