The original game in this franchise launched back in 1987. In this latest entry in the series, the player’s ship is once again fitted with power weapons like the Wave Cannon. These weapons will be crucial when it comes time to blast your way through enemy forces! This time around, new types of fighter ships will be developed for the player as they progress in the game. Players will need to discover which fighters are best for the mission at hand. Good luck out there!
