Arcade games that give you a military rank?

Recommended Posts

I was playing Alien3: The Gun, and I realized that as you completed each level, you were awarded a new rank depending on how high you scored. I was wondering if there were any other classic arcade games that did this? I know Combat School did, but it only had a few ranks.

I think 19XX gives you a rank which goes up at the end of each level

based on your hit percentage. That's actually the way it awards

extra ships. I don't know what any of the ranks meant, since I

played it in Japan, but I think the English version had ranks too.

While it's not a named rank, After Burner and After Burner II give you a number of medals based on how far you progressed through the game. You could argue that Galaga does the same thing.
