Released in 1985 by Nichibutsu, Terra Cresta Ym3526 Set 1 brings the classic vertically scrolling arcade shoot ’em up to your browser. You take command of the Wing Galiber starship in a desperate mission to reclaim Earth from the Mandler empire. This specific arcade set is known for utilizing the YM3526 sound chip to deliver its memorable soundtrack.
How to Play
Your objective is to survive waves of enemy attacks and destroy the dinosaur-like boss targets. Look for numbered hangars on the ground and shoot them to release ship modules. Collecting these parts expands your firepower. The arcade controls are mapped to your keyboard: use the Arrow Keys to maneuver, press Z to fire, X to use formation attacks, Shift to insert a coin, and Enter to start.
Tips
- When you collect multiple ship parts, press your secondary action button to temporarily separate the modules and perform a wide formation attack.
- If you manage to collect all five ship parts, your fighter will briefly transform into an invincible, flaming phoenix that can ram through enemies.
