DownloadsBased on an older arcade game, this sideview shooter duplicates the original by offering detailed, multi-layered backgrounds and fast action. Huge end of round bosses, waves upon waves of enemy fighters, lots of power-ups and weapon options, are but a few of the highlights in this well designed Mega Drive shooter. Available now but only in Japan as no U.S. company has announced its release over here.

Game Reviews
Beautifully detailed, multidimensional backgrounds, and unusually large enemy robots are features found in Toho's new side scrolling shooter. Start off as a sleek flying machine but transform into a 'Heavy Unit' when extra firepower is needed. Plenty of power-ups to get along the way and all will be needed when it is boss time. Moves a bit slow but the action is still average as far as shooters go.
