- Star Force
"Star Force" is a vertical
scrolling shooter arcade video game made in1984 byTecmo . In the game, the player pilots a starship, fighting various enemies and destroying enemy structures for points."Star Force" was ported in
1985 to the Nintendo Family Computer andMSX home computer by Tecmo themselves, but published byHudson Soft (likely because Tecmo would become a licensee ofNintendo only in 1986). TheNorth America n version for theNintendo Entertainment System was published in1987 by Tecmo with improved graphics, music, and control over the Famicom version. It was also ported to theSega SG-1000 ,Sharp X68000 and Mobile Phones.Unlike later vertical scrolling shooters, like "
Twin Cobra ", the Star Force ship had only two levels of weapon power, and no bombs. Each stage in the game was named after a letter of theGreek alphabet .At least in certain versions of the game, players got level "infinity" after Omega, after which the game repeats indefinitely.
