Alpha Mission

Another space-shooter, this time from SNK. I don't  know the plot. You fly a spaceship through four missions, destroying the enemy, collecting power-up and special abilities, and destroying the big bosses. This is an early shooter; games like Air Fortress and Zanac are much better.

Graphics D (nothing here)

Sound/Music D (the usual beeps and bloops)

Play Control B- (fine, expect that the enemies move twice as fast as your ship)

Challenge A (Unless you collect and choose the shield power-up, you die at one hit. Consider yourself an expert if you beat stage 2)

Fun Factor C

Replay Value C (Life Force much more replay value)

Overall C (It will be a hot day on Pluto before you finish this one) 1/2 links
