سوبر ستار سولجر

Picked this up for my collection and the crisp sprite work on the scrolling levels really stands out on the original hardware. It's fast and frantic, just what I wanted.

The eight levels fly by in a blur, and the nippy gameplay keeps you on your toes the whole time. It may not be as polished as later entries, but it still holds up surprisingly well for a quick blast of arcade-style action.

Finally got around to picking this up, and the "nippy gameplay" description is spot-on—the ship moves fast and responsive right from the start. The first few levels are a blast, though I can see why later entries refined things further. Solid shooter for the price.
