Game Review - originally written by Spinner 8

At first glance, this may just appear to be a neat little Space Harrier-type game, but actually it turns out to be a really cool neat little Space Harrier-type game. I know the screenshots are kind of confusing and don’t really show much, but it really has to be seen to be appreciated.. Some of the effects are just incredible, especially for the NES. Not much to be said about the gameplay, really.. You fly around and shoot stuff. However, the tricky part is that you also have to dodge all the stuff that might kill you. That’s the part that most people have trouble with, anyway. I don’t know, maybe it’s more complicated than that, but I never bothered to find out. I just kept hitting the B button. And that’s good enough for me, dammit.

Most advanced rail shooter on the NES. This game rules - it's got levels with enemy formations synced to classical music chiptunes, elaborate visual setpieces, mid-level dialog - and it even plays great!
