Xevious - NES

Once again, inhabitants of the planet Xevious, controlled by the supercomputer GAMP, are attacking Earth, their ancient home planet, and want to reclaim it by force. The SOL Towers have risen from the ground on our planet, remotely controlled by GAMP, and are supporting the Xevians in their invasion. Only the brave pilots of the Solvalou aircraft are able to avert this new threat! Super Xevious is a vertically scrolling 2D shoot 'em up. Power-ups such as bombs, lasers and shields can be collected; the latter protect the aircraft from instant destruction if hit by an enemy. Additional power-ups for the Solvalou include a rear shot and a larger lock-on. Some sections are completed by fulfilling certain requirements rather than simply moving forward and eliminating all enemies; if these are not met, the section loops endlessly, sending increasingly difficult enemies. These objectives typically include finding and destroying a series of SOL Towers; the target reticle flashes when it flies over these structures.
