STATUS
Tecmo's pioneering arcade shooting game became even more of a cult classic thanks to this stunning 1985 conversion from Hudson.
A hugely popular title, and for good reason: this was a massive moment in the history of shooting games; prelude of sorts to the legendary Star Soldier (1986) and its sequels.

Standard FC packaging, 25KB cartridge, instructions.

Sega bring a basic but efficient version of Star Force to the SG-1000, quite a success considering the hardware limitations.
Arguably the best shooting game on SG-1000, very hard to find!
