A somewhat sloppy playthrough of Syd Mead's Terraforming for the PC Engine DUO (Super CD-ROM). This is a side scrolling shooter that can be a little overwhelming at times, but pretty easy/smooth sailing at others. This was the first time I beat the game and didn't figure out until the end that you can use your thrusters/speed change to do damage. This is basically mandatory right before the final boss. Okay-ish STG overall. I'd kind of hate to see what the higher difficulties are like, given i-frames are nearly non-existent on recovery and enemies can be quite tanky as-is.
