Star Force

Star Force

"Star Force" is a vertical scrolling shooter arcade video game made in 1984 by Tecmo. In the game, the player pilots a starship, fighting various enemies and destroying enemy structures for points.

"Star Force" was ported in 1985 to the Nintendo Family Computer and MSX home computer by Tecmo themselves, but published by Hudson Soft (likely because Tecmo would become a licensee of Nintendo only in 1986). The North American version for the Nintendo Entertainment System was published in 1987 by Tecmo with improved graphics, music, and control over the Famicom version. It was also ported to the Sega SG-1000, Sharp X68000 and Mobile Phones.

Unlike later vertical scrolling shooters, like "Twin Cobra", the Star Force ship had only two levels of weapon power, and no bombs. Each stage in the game was named after a letter of the Greek alphabet.

At least in certain versions of the game, players got level "infinity" after Omega, after which the game repeats indefinitely.
