Tetrastar The Fighter is a 3D shooting game developed by Home Data and published by Taito. Set in the year 2089, humanity forms an alliance with the intergalactic Baal Empire, only to later discover the aliens' true, sinister motives. A resistance group initiates Project Tetrastar to prepare for the looming threat. However, the project, led by General Nelson, is abruptly halted, and a fragile peace is briefly maintained. In reality, the peace was a ruse, as the Baal Empire betrays the alliance and launches an invasion of Earth. The player's first objective is to stop the destruction of New York and then recover Omega, the loyal robotic navigator, to enable a warp to the enemy's home planet. The Tetrastar super fighter can maneuver freely on screen and fire a standard Vulcan cannon. As the game progresses, special weapons become available, including Bombs (WID), Homing Missiles (AAM), Napalm Bombs (NAP), and the formidable Bio Cannon (BIO). These can be selected using the Select button and activated by pressing A. All special weapons are limited and must be replenished by collecting power-pods during the mission. Tetrastar features well-designed levels and cutscenes that reveal the game's story in an episodic format.
