Radaxian

Released in 1987 for the MSX2, *RADX-8* is a vertical scrolling shooter developed by Radarsoft and published by Philips. Players control an aircraft from an overhead perspective with the objective of destroying as many enemy units as possible. The game features a total of ten levels, after which the challenge repeats with the original enemy encounters. This title stands as a representative example of the home computer arcade action games produced for the MSX2 platform during the late 1980s.

In RADX-8, the player pilots a spacecraft across abstract landscapes to engage geometrical enemies in a vertical shooting format. The game focuses on score accumulation as players advance through successive levels, which increase in difficulty. There is no overarching plot or narrative established within the game.
