Silpheed description

The most popular at the time of the hit arcade space simulator with a third person.

What can I say about this game? Almost anything – equip our ship with weapons, start the game, move around the level "forward-up", kill the enemies and collect bonuses, go to the next level (previously, if you collect the right bonuses, improving the car with new weapons). There are bosses.

That is, it would seem that the standard, if not a very compelling "but": the game is three-dimensional. Of course, now nobody will call it a rant "3D", but at the time this was just fantastic. The game, incidentally, is also an example of how great graphics (and with it the atmosphere) can be created using only a few colors.

Because classic, recommended to all, and so lovers of music from the slot machines, even more so.
