Disc Station Special 4: Autumn Edition

Game cover: Disc Station Special 4: Autumn Edition

Description

Disc Station Special #4 is a compilation of:

  • Aleste Gaiden
  • Crimson II
  • J.B. Harold 3: D.C. Connection
  • Thexder

Aleste Gaiden was never released outside of this compilation. The main difference of this vertical shoot 'em up with its predecessors Aleste and Aleste 2 is that in this installment of the series the player is not flying a space craft, not even in a remote way. No, they are in control of a robot (maybe a humanoid). The robot is running around defending and attacking the enemy while avoiding obstacles and holes in the ground. For the rest it's pretty much all the same: it's fast, has many enemies, hard to beat level bosses and has lots of power-ups. If the player destroys a space ship they will be rewarded with power-ups.
