NES Solar Jetman: Hunt for the Golden Warpship

Support Shiryu on Patreon:   / shiryu     / shiryuvideogames   One of the finest shmups you can find on the NES! Zippo Games and RARE developed "Solar Jetman: Hunt for the Golden Warpship" (not a typo! Even the game's US cover misprints the name as "Warship" instead of "WarPship") mixx "thrust" style rocket controls with 360º shooting...until you blow up your probe, where you must continue your quest to search for the Golden Warpship parts, gems, and other upgrades on foot using your astronaut suit only, a big disadvantage since you can only fire horizontally. Technically impressive, it remains fresh and addictive to play to this day. It did not have a smooth developing cycle, with the whole game almost getting scrapped at one point, but RARE pushed it to completion. Enjoy!
