Solar Striker

A launch title for Game Boy, as well as a shooter. There are 6 levels of play against the forces of Reticulon. A simple 1989 game that adds a good challenge. Enimies appear from the top of the screen. Special ships can be shot and power-ups can be obtained. 1 power-up means twice the shooting. 3 power-ups mean thrice the shooting. 5 power-ups means big blasts on enemies which are helpful, especially against tough enimies and bosses that take many hits to destroy. There is a variety of enimies as well as sub-bosses in the later levels. They descend in patterns and bosses have their own way to try to defeat you. So it's also a test of memory.
