Varth - operation thunderstorm (920714 Japan)

Varth features three different weapons for the player: a laser (long rate of sustained fire but lowest horizontal range), a machine gun (relatively powerful with a potential range as wide as the player's craft), and a multi-directional shot (very wide range but lowest sustained rate of fire). Additionally, three different types of pod weapons are available: homing missiles (weakest weapon but with a useful homing advantage), missiles (more damaging than homing missiles but can only fire forward), and napalm (powerful but with a very low range). Like 194X games, Varth also features bombs which allow the planes to perform "mega crashes". The type of megacrash a plane can do is determined by the weapon it is carrying. Lasers will result in an electricity attack that will cover the entire screen. The machine gun will fire missiles which will move from target to target. The multi-directional shot will fire a single large burst that moves directly forward from the player, then many smaller bolts will emanate upon reaching the top of the screen. The game also features several items which can help the player in other ways, such as point-yielding icons, items which will increase the power of the player's arsenal, additional bombs, and items that will destroy all enemies on a screen. The Yashichi may be the most useful item because it instantly brings a player's weapons to the highest level.
