Soldier Blade1992

Gunhed, is a 1989 sci-fi shoot 'em up video game developed by Hudson Soft and Compile. It was released in Japan on July 7, 1989 for the PC Engine, and it was released in North America in November 1989 for the TurboGrafx-16. It was later released on the Wii's Virtual Console in North America on May 21, 2007, in Europe on May 25, 2007, in Australia on July 30, 2007, and in Japan on June 17, 2008. It was released for the PlayStation Network on July 21, 2010 and on the Wii U's Virtual Console on June 11, 2014 both in Japan. It is based on the Japanese film Gunhed (only referenced in the Japanese version). In the game, a fictional galaxy is under attack by an enemy space armada called the Dark Squadron, and this galaxy's only chance for survival is the Gunhed Advanced Star Fighter, who must destroy the Dark Squadron and its Super Weapons. The gameplay features fast vertical scrolling and a wide array of weapons for the player to use. Gunhed was part of the fifth Caravan Festival organized by Hudson Soft in 1989. A non-commercial and very limited edition of Gunhed exists - Gunhed Special Version comes as a single HuCard, and offers 2 or 5 minute Time Attack modes.

Released specifically for Naxat Soft's Summer Carnival of 1993, Nexzr Special is a collection of short stages and modes that share their basic gameplay system and visuals with Nexzr. The regular mode introduces familiar regular enemies and a few new bosses. The "Carnival Mode" contains Score Attack and Time Attack modes, both requiring the player to focus on attaining the high score rather than just surviving. For that reason the difficulty in these modes is more forgiving; they allow more continues and have more generously placed power-ups. These modes also offer more destructible objects on the screen, as these specifically serve to increase the score.

Conceived as an entry for a game development competition, this game would later be published by Naxat Soft in 1992. This frenetic shoot-'em-up taxes the Famicom system and the player's reflexes with huge quantities of enemies while maintaining smooth, fast gameplay! In addition to a single player campaign, there are also score attack and time attack modes available.

While the game is not long, it features stunning visuals, processing effects and a rather impressive soundtrack.

The update to the 16-bit Super NES title continues the original's on-rails 3D shooting action on the Nintendo 64.
