A good Sega arcade port. This one is just a blasting jolly time. Run around each 4-wany scrolling space ship, rescuing your buddies who have been captured by the aliens. Pick up extra weapons and view maps by checking out the items in the walls and blast all the aliens you can. One of my all time favorite Master System and ST ports. Good sounds, fun graphics with a speedy arcade feel .Play this one. You might need a cheat though.
