Black Star: First Attack
Black Star: First Attack - space shooter using 16bit graphics and ship upgrading (Clone of Tyrian, Demonstar). You can use the Shop after each level. Here you can buy a new ship, weapons, armor plating, reactor, shield and many more... . You don't know what all this stuff means? Just look at Encyclopedia - there is short brief on every game object. You can save the game in the Shop too. Also the Level Editor can be used to create your own levels.. Now created: 20 playable ships; 20 weapon types; 2 shield types; 2 ECM systems; 10 armor types; 7 reactor types; 60 enemies; 60 levels ( 8 episodes ); Our Review: Black Star: First Attack is your standard space-actioner / Galaxian clone with your one ship taking on hundreds of enemies. Of course your enemies have the usual handicaps of flying around like a bunch of morons and taking a kamakaze approach when it comes to attacks. The graphics are shareware standard but the actual gameplay is kinda disappointing with the first mission very repetitive, very difficult and not much fun at all. Things are improved somewhat in career mode when you get to purchase a good range weapons and upgrade your ship but chances are you'll get bored long before you've saved enough for that new laser turret.
