Rating: 4.6/5
A 1 or 2 player vertical scrolling shooter set in a apocalyptic future. Controls are directional and 2 buttons. Button 1 fires your main weapon, button 2 fires a bomb. There is a third button but this is not used in gameplay. As with most games of this type you start off in a ship with a basic weapon, as you fight your way through the level power ups become available and your can improve your weapon. Among these power ups are bombs, you can only carry 2 bombs at any one time. When you have an upgraded weapon you can press and hold the fire button to charge and fire a high power shot. There are 5 levels, each climax with a boss fight. On completion the end sequence plays, this consists of a slideshow of sorts showing earth and human history before the credits roll. There is a button sequence that allows you to see the end sequence without actually playing. When pressed during the demo: up down left right 1 2 1 2 3 3 3 This is as any other vertical scroller. It's fun and can be challenging, but doesn't offer enough originality to really shine when compared with others of its genre.
