A short but fun Wolf Team shooter with a spectacular bomb and a snappy arcade pace. Not a classic, but a great fifteen-minute blast.

Collector interest

A horizontal shoot'em up from Wolf Team, Arrow Flash circulated in Europe in Sega's clamshell case, a format that cracks and yellows, making clean copies sought after. The PAL run was smaller than the American one, and its Japanese Renovation pedigree gives it standing among fans of the studio's 16-bit STGs. The ship's transformation mechanic sets the title apart from the generic shmups of its era.
