Star Luster

Description

Star Luster, released in 1985 by Namco, is a classic space combat simulator and first-person shooter game that provides a unique blend of arcade-style gaming and strategic combat. This gem from the golden era of gaming features a cockpit view, where you can see and control your spaceship's mechanisms. Navigate through open-space, locate enemies and bases on your radar, and warp to any location on the map. One of the game's distinctive features is its date system, which keeps track of the current date and can change when warping long distances. Also, it introduced the concept of a regenerating shield mechanic, bringing an extra layer of strategy to your space battles. An enhanced version was ported to the Sharp X68000 in 1994, and it was later included in Namco Anthology 1 for PlayStation. Its legacy continues as it's now available on Wii's Virtual Console in Japan.
