Episode 38. - Gaiares (gameplay)

Gaiares (ガイアレス, Gaiaresu) is a Japanese style side-scrolling space shooter released in 1990 by Telenet Japan for the Sega Mega Drive System and subsequently for its American counterpart, the Sega Genesis. It came into the video game scene at a time when this genre was immensely popular. Competition was fierce with franchised games like Thunder Force II, R-Type and Gradius, so it had to distinguish itself with a unique weapon system. Still, only the more hardcore shooter fans may have recognized Gaiares in this crowded space. The name is supposedly a combination of Gaia (the Greek goddess of earth) and Ares (the Greek god of war), which relates to the battle taking place within the storyline. - Wikipedia

This game makes great use of the console's color palette! They need to make more games like these again!
