Verytex is a vertically scrolling shoot ’em up released exclusively in Japan for the Sega Mega Drive in 1991. Developed by Opera House and published by Asmik, you pilot a space fighter tasked with protecting the planet Syracuse from a military coup d’รฉtat led by the rogue flagship Aphrodite across six standard shooter stages.
How to Play
Your objective is to survive six stages of vertically scrolling enemy waves and defeat the boss at the end of each stage. Pick up power-ups to upgrade your ship’s weaponry.
Controls:
- Move: Arrow Keys (D-pad)
- Shoot / Action: Z, X, C (A, B, C buttons)
- Start: Enter
Tips
- Your ship is destroyed by a single hit, so prioritize dodging incoming fire over destroying every enemy on screen.
- Grab the weapon upgrade icons that appear to boost your firepower, but be careful not to switch to a weapon type that doesn’t suit your playstyle right before a boss.
