Too chaotic to be something good. The music is catchy though.

ATHENA'S NAME IS MAGIC
MYSTERY... IS WHAT YOU SEE

Athena, and the theme song, both deserve a better game. This is just a quarter-muncher slog through repetitive environments and tedious boss fights.

Very fun arcade game. It borders the line between a on-rails shooter and a platformer. Game is short and has a great soundtrack.

Shoot 'em up from the 80's.

It's a side scroller shoot 'em up basically, not in space. It's very experimental, thus very weird and janky. Has it's charm, but it fades quickly.

And a vocalized version of the main theme is here too, the first one at that. It sounds very clear and the lyrics itself are goofy but awesome. What an achievement for the time.

Give it a try, it isn't that long.

I’m proud of myself for beating this one. It’s a very cool game with a kickass theme song. It’s not easy, and some of the later stages are a little tough to read and respond to, but the feeling of having beaten it is great. I think everyone should check it out.
