This review is for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis version

enter image description here Looks and sounds okay on Genesis but play very responsive. This is a very fast paced Panic shooting (similar to Super Aleste, I think)you get weapon upgrades by collecting the same ones. Yeah and there is the option satellite (they are pretty nice in Search Mode) Difficulty of this game is absurd. Other than that its not very long or notable. Bombs are helpful against bosses and grant a few moments of invulnerability. Game loops rather quietly upon completion.
