Silpheed, a space shoot-em-up, almost like Galaga, but in Full 3D, with a Storyline, and you can move forward and backward. This game is amazing. The game is based in the year 3076, the Earth is under attack. The space craft SA-77 Silpheed is the Earths last hope against the strike from “Zakalite”. Yeah, it sounds corny, but the game is addicting. You get 4 HP from shield, then a Weapon Malfunction, taking your attack down to 1 shot instead of 2, then an Engine Malfunction where you can’t move, then explode if you get hit again. The game is challenging, yet addictive. There are 11 Stages, with a boss at the end of each round, and then you battle “Zakalite”, for earth. The game is amazing, graphics good for the time, and sound is kind of lacking. The ratings:
