Star Soldier — About this game
Star Soldier sends the fighter Caesar through enemy formations and a heavily defended space station. Shoot P-mark targets and collect the capsules they release to build up your ship: later upgrades add rear fire, a five-direction attack and a protective shield. The shield can absorb enemy fire but cannot save you from a collision. Each stage ends in a fight against Starbrain; defeat it before it escapes or repeat part of the stage. Larger Starbrain battles punctuate the sixteen-stage journey.
