SE3K Survivors Experience 3000

Exerion

Jaleco, Sega · 1985

Jaleco's 1983 shooter, remembered for its parallax: the ground scrolls under the ship at a different rate from the star layer, an effect that made the cabinet look more expensive than it was. The ship has inertia — it drifts after the stick is released — and a dual weapon whose charged shot must be waited for.
