Video Game / Blazing Lazers

Blazing Lazers is a 1989 Vertical Scrolling Shooter for the TurboGrafx-16, produced by Hudson Soft and developed by Compile (whose name only appears in the game's end credits as "cooperator"). In Japan it was titled Gunhed, and was a tie-in to a movie of the same name; however, the game and movie barely resemble each other.

The game has nine variously space-themed stages which are slightly wider than the screen.

Four weapon types are available, each of which can be upgraded by collecting purple orbs and items which give additional firepower.

Tropes appearing in this game:

• Unstable Equilibrium: The last couple of levels are really hard, and they're even harder if you lose your weapons.
