A 3D reworking of Nichibutsu's vertical shooter Terra Cresta, this Japan-exclusive recasts the ship-combining mechanic into a third-person three-dimensional space. Issued late in 1998 through a minor publisher, it was pressed in small quantity and never left the archipelago. Its desirability speaks mainly to Nichibutsu shmup collectors hunting the obscure offshoots of the license rather than to the broader Saturn audience.
