Blasting onto the Game Boy comes a new shooter with a distinct Eighties feel...
Back in the Eighties, arcades were crammed with upwards scrolling shooting games, and with a slight re-design, it seems they are coming back. Project S-11 is a new shooting game which combines powerful weapons with plenty of enemy ships to destroy. You control a spaceship from a top-down view, and can move freely around the screen to dodge incoming missiles.
Shooting some enemies will result in a changing power-up, offering the player a chance to choose either a new weapon or a chance to increase your current weapon's power. This game brings back many memories and is great fun to pick up and play for a short while. There are numerous continues to help you to the end of the game, but all your weapons are reset at the start of each level making it necessary to power-up again. Also, the enemy bombs are a little difficult to see on the small screen, but then that only increases the overall challenge of the game - doesn't it?
