Sorry for the long delay, I only got the game last week .... ;^)
Solar Striker is your basic scrolling shoot-em-up, a la Star Force,
Zanac, Terra Cresta, Xevious and a zillion others....
Your ship has mobility throughout the whole screen. Power-ups appear
infrequently to increase your firepower. Simply holding down the A or
B button gives rapid fire; no need to wear your thumb out. As far as I
know, you get a bonus ship for every 50K.
The "landscape" you fly over is different for each level; when I got
hosed in level 3, I was flying over highways and was getting shot at by
killer trucks (no, I'm not kidding....)
As a shoot-em-up, I rate it only average; many games of this type have
added features that this game *could* have included. Still, it appears
to be the only Gameboy game of this type around.
