Super Star Soldier (1990). Play online

Summary

Even today, I love tearing through the neon‑lit corridors of Super Star Farmer’s sequel. The visual punch of the 8‑stage gauntlet looks sharp enough to hold its own against any cartridge‑board output from the ’90s, and the frenetic pace forces you to ride the metal behemoth of firepower. You’ll flick between the blazing flamethrower, electric arcs, wide‑spanning shot‑spread and the hunt‑down heat‑seeker missile; then grab the rare Super Bomb for that decisive screen‑clearing bang. Beyond the frantic raid comes a competitive two‑player time‑attack where you compare the last-minute clock, throwing down to see who truly masters the stars. Critics loved it for its frantic pacing, technical polish and the array of power‑ups—a rare formula that still feels fresh when I switch on the console and drop right back into the fray.

Storyline

Four years after the events of Star Soldier, the galaxy faces a fresh threat as the Star Brain Corps—those original alien invaders—have regrouped. Their forces are now commanded by the massive, ultimate warship known as Mother Brain. Earth’s only hope lies in the newly upgraded Neo Cesear star‑fighter, built to finish the battle that began years ago.

In Super Star Soldier for the TurboGrafx‑16, players pilot the Neo Cesear through relentless waves of enemy ships, aiming to dismantle Mother Brain’s fleet and protect the planet from total annihilation.
