Moon Cresta

Released by Nichibutsu in 1980, Moon Cresta is a landmark title that introduced the innovative "docking" system to the fixed-screen shooting genre. Players combine three successive spacecraft during battle, incrementally enhancing their offensive capabilities to challenge the enemy mothership. The dramatic sense of power-up and the game's tense balance had a profound influence on the evolution of future shooting games. Packed with the thrill and dream of space exploration, it remains a masterpiece that symbolizes the dawn of the 1980s arcade era.
