Psycho Chaser (Japan)

When you start a new game, you'll immediately be thrown into vertical scrolling stages. Your ship moves with the D-Pad and fires automatically or with the B button (S key). The goal is to survive each wave of enemies and reach the end of the level. Power-ups appear occasionally - grabbing them changes your weapon or adds extra firepower. Watch for the boss at the end of each stage; they require pattern recognition and steady dodging.

Since this is a Japanese import, the title screen and menus are entirely in Japanese. To start, press Enter (Start) and then select the first option (likely "Start" or "Game Start"). The core loop is straightforward: shoot everything, collect power-ups, and avoid getting hit. There's no continue system in the original version, so one hit often means restarting the stage or losing a life. Focus on memorizing enemy spawns and using your weapon's spread to clear paths.
