Developed and published by Toaplan in 1989

This Sega Genesis conversion of Toaplan's arcade release is a good shooter, and a pretty daunting affair; it starts of easily enough, but ramps up the difficulty.

Positives include the three main ship weapons and power-up system. I definitely preferred to stick with the lightning gun once upgraded, mainly because it locks on to enemies and allows you to continue inflicting damage on a target, even when you're having to move around the screen to avoid enemy fire.

I also preferred not to get the maximum ship speed after discovering just how greasy-twitchy it can be, so I avoided collecting the "S" tokens for much of the game, even if they do award 5,000 points.

The game effectively loops 5 times, with each round progressively more difficult than the last. Each round concludes with a different ending, with the game finally ending for real on completion of the fifth round.
