Side Arms Special
Mechs in space, Before Christ?Genre: shooter - horizontal
Publisher: NEC
Year: 1989
System: PCE CD
Gameplay Score: 4
Gameplay Notes:
This is a carbon copy of the TG-16 original version, but with the addition of a new mode called "Before Christ". The BC version plays much the same, with only minor differences such as the powerups and slower game speed. Still a great game.
Level Design Score: 4
Level Design Notes:
The BC mode has similar levels to the main one, although I found them to be a tad less interesting. Still, more of the same is a good thing here.
Theme Score: 4
Theme Notes:
There's an opening cinematic and between-level artwork. Nice stuff. Plus, mechs!
Art Style Score: 4
Art Style Notes:
Again, lovely stuff. Nothing that will knock your socks off, but all the artwork is interesting. Nice sprites and great use of color. The BC mode is a slight downgrade but looks like a suped-up NES game.
Audio Score: 3
Audio Notes:
No improvmenet over the HuCard version. Same old
Overall Score: 78
