What a great game. Itās one of the all-time great 8-bit shmups - simple, but incredibly fun and addicting, and also hellishly difficult. Itās the apotheosis of everything Compile was doing on the MSX. I really hope M2 does another Aleste collection someday that collects the MSX and 16-bit titles because they deserve it
I never got into the previous games much, but Super Aleste, aka Space Megaforce, is my favorite shmup of all time.
I still dust it off regularly to this day.
