- Опубликовано: 21 окт 2024
- Came also out for:
Apple IIgs
DOS
FM-7
TRS-80 CoCo
Game description:
In Silpheed, the player pilots a spaceship through levels of increasing difficulty, in a pseudo-3D vertically scrolling field, shooting everything in his path. New weapons will become available as he gathers points, and power-ups are sprinkled throughout the levels.
The game is one of the first-ever that used music as a selling point.

Loooove that PC-88 soundchip
Yeah, the PC-88 can have fantastic audio that can hold up to the likes of the Atari 8-bit family and Commodore 64 *if* done right (like here, The Scheme, almost all Falcom games or plenty of doujin games).
@@Highretrogamelord Can it do Genesis-like tracks? Cause it brutally sounds like it here
@@systemshocker2875 almost same soundchip, after all
@@systemshocker2875This is FM... it's not that they are similar, they are from the same family! (OPN), I find it strange that the same people who criticize the Genesis FM synth so much are the same people who comment "Love the Arcade or Computer Japanese Sound chip" when relatively they are almost the same synthesizers.
I love how this game looks, the 3D'ish style looks really impressive, and it runs at a pretty nice frame rate. The gameplay is pretty good too I like the weapons you can choose between, and the levels where you land on planets and inside the ships bring some variety to the gameplay, the music sounds pretty nice as well!
Silpheed was a great game, it really grows on you after a while. I had the DOS version and I used to play the crap out of it
@@PlasticCogLiquid The DOS version is a really faithful port of this version with higher quality music and voices, and the rate of fire you can shoot is higher, so you grew up with a great version of this game!
This game is a classic on all systems it came out for *but* it is easily one of the best PC-88 games.
@@Highretrogamelord Tottaly agree
Silpheed is a classic! One of the best of all time.
I really wish I would have bought this instead of Thexder back in the day!
当時FM音源に感動したのを思い出した！
久々にFM音源聞きました❤
A bit too primitive for me now but given how other shmups looked at that time, very impressive. I enjoy the Sega cd and ps2 games quite a bit though.
So Starfox was really just a Silpheed clone
Super!
One of the first games I bought for my extra fast 12 mhz 286 with ega card. But it was AWFUL on PC. The graphics were fine but the pc boops and bloops through the speaker sound killed it.
I miss Game Arts so much, and the music is really kicking
