Phelios | 1990 | Mythical Journey to Ssave the World! | Sega Genesis
2Phelios (フェリオス) is a Sega Mega Drive vertical shoot-'em-up game developed by Namco. A port of the developer's titular 1988 arcade shoot-'em-up Phelios, it was first published in Japan by Namco themselves in July 1990, with the company bringing the title to the United States the following October. Later in December 1991, the game also received a European release courtesy of Sega. Apollo, the god of the sun, sets off on the legendary winged horse Pegasus to rescue his lover Artemis, the goddess of the moon. Artemis has been turned to stone by the monstrous Medusa and imprisoned by the Titan Typhon. The game is a vertically scrolling shooter played as Apollo, who is mounted upon the back of his winged horse Pegasus. At the end of every stage, Apollo enters a temple and must defeat a boss character from Greek myth.The game is inspired by but diverges significantly from Greek mythology, where Artemis is goddess of the hunt and the twin sister of Apollo.
GAME RECORDING INFO:
The game was scaled to 4k, without bi-linear filtering, and retaining the original aspect ratio. I also use a shader / filter that simulates a CRT Monitor (More like the way we remembered, than, the way it really was), and to use as a overlay I've created a a 3d image of a Genesis / Mega Drive game room with a TV from the 90s, to create a nostalgic atmosphere.
