A very fun game, or at least what I played of it.

This is another one of those video games for the Sega Genesis that I never finished but replayed many times. I have come close to beating it but just never felt the motivation to continue on and finish it. I always got stuck on one of the last levels. The basic idea behind this "side-scrolling shooter" is to get from the start of the level to the finish, which is often left to right, but sometimes it varies, and kill everything that gets in your way. The way in which you kill the enemies varies with what weapon type your using- there are rapid-fire ray guns and all sorts of other weapons that are very high technology. The look of this game and all its weapons is very cool and it's a shame that there aren't more games like this. The music is fitting of this futuristic game, and the sound effects are fitting as well. Overall a very fun game with a lot of replay value. It's too bad that video games didn't have such a high status in society as they do today because if it were this game would surely be a multi-million copy seller.
