G-Stream G2020

Arcade Video game published 22 years ago:

G-Stream G 2020 (c) 2002 Oriental Soft Japan.

Shooter from Oriental soft, heavy influence from "XII Stag" as well as "Trizeal". Three weapons may be carried and their power controlled by picking up capsules of a specific colour.

Three capsule types:
Red - Vulcan
Green - Missiles
Blue - Laser

Points are awarded by picking up medals which are released from shot down enemies. The medal value and appearance is increased as long as you don't miss any.

When enough medals have been picked up a 'void' bomb becomes available which when released (hold down main shot) will create a circular void. Enemy bullets which hit this void are transformed into medals. If you place your ship inside this void it becomes invulnerable.
