Title and History
This game is known as Super Aleste in most markets, including Japan and Europe. It belongs to a series of games that started with Aleste in 1988 for the MSX system and Sega Master System. The MSX version was also later featured on the Nintendo Wii Virtual Console in 2008.
Super Aleste is one of the last entries in the series, with the last one, GG Aleste 2, releasing the next year for the Game Gear before a revival in 2020 for GG Aleste 3 that was snuck into a series collection. Like other entries, as the original Aleste was called "Power Strike" in the US, the title for the Super Nintendo version was renamed for its North America launch. For this region the game was called "Space Megaforce".
Super Aleste is the only entry in the series that Toho was involved with. |
