Enjoy!
Here's an interesting game: it's a vertical shooter where, instead of going through all four of your lives (as opposed to three in the arcades) one by one, you have all four of them lined up like some sort of space convoy...and you move and shoot with all of them at once.
1 shoots, 2 drops bombs and the Control Pad move around. You want to make sure that you don't run any of your ships - not just your lead ships - into anything, and you want to make sure that none of your ships get shot down.
There are a multitude of enemies that you'll be shooting down and avoiding. Some simply come at you, others move in and out and shoot at you, and others split into shrapnel that can take you out when they are destroyed. There is even a There is also a big red spaceship that you need to shoot down. If you shoot it down, your convoy turns into one big ship and you go through the level at warp speed for a ton of points.
Speaking of points, you'll get an extra ship every 10,000 points, and if you managed to hold on to all four ships as you keep hitting multiples of 10,000, the game will keep tabs on how many extra ships you've accumulated and you'll get a ship from your surplus at the end of the round. The more ships in your convoy at the end of the round, the more points you get, with a total of 8000 points if you get through a round with all four ships in tow (4000 for three, 2000 for two and 1000 for one).
This is a very fast-paced game, and while a session of this game might last for a few minutes, you'll be spending more time than that just to see all that there is in the game, see how good you can really get and you'll soon be spending quite a bit of time on this one if you're into vertical shooters and you like this game's play style. This is one SG-1000 game that has some serious staying power.
