Gall Force: Eternal Story

Gall Force: Eternal Story is based on the anime movie of the same name. Since it is a straightforward early Famicom Disk System vertical scrolling shoot'em up game there is not much to be expected from the story however. Technically the game is very well done. Many sprites, big boss sprites and no sprite flicker at all. The game runs very smoothly. On the other hand your own ship is rather large and clumsy. Although you can take multiple hits until you loose a life it is extremely hard to avoid being hit, because the enemies and their shots appear and move very fast. Also the screen is often too overloaded with background graphics. You can barely make out projectiles. After each level you rescue one of your comrades which opens up a special power-up like more firepower, armor oder side-shots. All in all a nice game but not amongst the best games of its kind.
