Space Cyclone

A vertical space shooter in which the player controls a laserbase that fires at approaching enemy "ships" and alien creatures called "bame". The aliens enter the play area from the top of either side of the screen riding what appear to be clouds. They then jump from the clouds and float towards the earth while firing at the player's laserbase. If the "bame" reach the earth without being destroyed, they contruct a ship at the left side of the screen which is completed when three "bame" successfully reach earth. Once completed, the ship takes off and fires a large "cyclone" beam at the player. Occasionally a UFO-type alien ship will enter the screen and fire a cyclone-type beam at the player as well.

The "voice messages" include: "We're coming!" as the bame approach the earth, "Watch out!" when the alien ship takes off and fires at the player's laserbase and "Gotcha!" when the player's laserbase is destroyed.

Translated from the Japanese flyer:

How to Play:

• Insert coin in slot. Use the button(s) to select for 1 or 2 players.
• Moving the control lever right and left, accumulate points by attacking the incoming bame (insect cyborg) with rocket fire.
• The bame appear only from the top of the screen, attacking in wave after wave at warp speed (translators note: through star fields?), so you need to attack them without being overwhelmed.
• If you are able to dodge enemy rocket UFO cyclone attacks and also destroy them, you get mystery points.
• The game is over when all rockets have been destroyed.

Features:

• A thrilling game - See how long you can go in the battle against enemy rocket UFOs and their lightning-like cyclone attacks (translators note: some kind of powerful weapon that they fire).
• Vivid graphics of glittering stars, falling stars that change colors, and beautiful outer space views.
• If the incoming bame reach the earths surface 3 times, they build more rockets there and will attack as they re-launch back into space. If you can destroy these bame, you get mystery points.
• The game is greatly enhanced by audio voice messages and sound effects (that are produced by the CPU).
