Wow ... I remember this game on my Tandy 1000 DOS-based PC with 256K of RAM (that's kilobytes haha). I just had a monochrome monitor and this game haad no save feature so I got that theme song imbedded into my head even after a bit over 2 decades later (is it that long!?). The old game had an intro of the slow (famous) movement of Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.
To all players. DO NOT CHECK THIS GAME OUT! This game is 100% garbage. Why? Because there are no continues. No fun. No survival. No strategies. No upgrades. No evasions. No trophies. No unlockables. Only 1 stage due to the fact that this game was infected with a programming virus that destroyed the fun out of this piece of crap, game. This is awarded for Square Enix as the number 1 worst games ever. Thank you for your understandings. Sweet dreams.
What's wrong with you? This game is a classic. The original one had no continues or upgrades..etc.. If you're really 30, you should remember this game. If you didn't like it then, you won't like it now. Don't be such a baby
Yeah people this is not a PSP Mini game. It is also coming out for the PS3, so the fact that it's coming out on the PS3 makes it just a small sized downloadable only game. Not a Mini.
(PSP minis come out only for PSP and can't be play on a PS3, also they must be under i think 100... If any of these requirements are broken then it's not called a Mini.)
It's in the PSN@Store since today! I remember playing the hell out of a Thexder 95, bought it instantly on my PSP. It's around 10$, though you have to use "search" function in EU store, because it's not yet listed. Maybe later today it will, but i just couldn't wait :]
The original game was amazing, and this seems to be a faithful sequel. I'm not sure if today's gamers will appreciate that... can't wait to play it. It's a tough game that requires patience and learning.
If this came out for the fist time today, I think it wouldn't sell. But the original game, and this looks very faithful to it, had a lot of depth, and once you knew you had to learn the AI to defeat it, it became enjoyable. I hope people understand this. I played for almost a year before realizing I had a shield I could use! LOL! What a fun game. I'm looking forward to it.
It wasn't as good, since it didn't have a bitmap graphics system, but instead a character graphics system, so it couldn't draw and calculate the laser exactly. The original PC version, specifically the Tandy, had 320x200 resolution and a pixel perfect laser. It didn't shoot projectiles like the NES. I found the NES too hard to play after playing the PC version. But if you liked it, you'll like the original, and this new one, for sure.
this is awesome... lame comment but wow i'm happy to see this. i beat the original. it was the best (arcade) game i had on my cheap tandy 1000 sx as a child....
can i put this in my psp without my psp is pot moded?? please answer ... thanks

I mean, the enemy physics and AI is spot on, at least from what I can see in this trailer.
