Japanese-origin horizontal shooter with modular ship and varied bestiary. Decent feel, readability sometimes suffers. Honorable for 1990, soon dated.

Collector interest

This US version of Aerostar, a horizontal shooter published by Vic Tokai, appeals to Game Boy shmup collectors less for its merits than for a low-key NTSC run. Vic Tokai was no front-rank publisher and the game never left a mark on the genre, yet its relative scarcity props up a value that surprises for so obscure a title. The draw is purely niche: filling out the console's slim monochrome shoot-'em-up shelf.
