Regulus

             

              Manufacturer: Sega
              Year: 1983

Descpription: Pilot an egg shaped tank in a vertical scrolling
shoot-em-up. Fire missiles and bombs at insect-like
enemies, shoot ground and flying targets.

Reasonable vertical scrolling shoot-em-up, pilot your tank up
the screen destroying the enemy on the ground, in the air or
popping up from under the sea. You can turn and fire in any direction.

The bomb is similar to Xevious where a target ahead
of the ship shows where the bomb will explode.

There are a variety of different landscapes including a maze
section you must navigate. The enemies also have an insect-like
look about them. Music is a little cheesy and graphics are fairly
small, but effective. Good for it's age and insanely hard.

Does not have a flip feature for the video (very inconvenient).
