Blazing Lazers is one of my all time favorite games. In fact, this game started my infatuation with shooters. It all starts out where the aliens (now called the Dark Squadron) once again choose earth as target practice. Well, they are out of luck becuase your Gunhed Star Fighter is going out there to take care of them once and for all. You are just your average Gunhed pilot, armed and dangerous with itchy fingers, and a deep hate for the Dark Squadron. 80 tons of weapons should get you through this whole game, but of course a few extra players would be nice...
AREA 1
Here in this level, you start out by tearing through the spaceship at blinding fast speeds, while causing mass destruction to everything in your path. After a short while, you slow down, and start shooting everything down by the dozen. Purple Gels, which power up your weapons, are plentiful on this level, and so are the mass supply of weapons. Any weapon can be used to beat this level, just as long as you fire enough times, and dodge enough bullets.
Destroy the rocks! Sometimes you must dodge them, but by destroying them, you pick up a lot of extra points, and even an extra player or two! Afterwards, you'll have the chance to rack up a few more points, then onward to space!
Here is the first boss of the game. He is very tricky to beat for the beginner, but if you are mad, and you shoot out enough bullets, this boss will be a cinch! This Boss is divided into 3 parts, and may prove to be a challenge if destroyed wrong. MEGA TIP:if you don't fire upon this boss, and manage to dodge enough bullets, he will leave, and you will pick up 16 lives, and 36 bombs!!
AREA 2
Once again, you start out by flying super high speeds over a space station (is this a fad?) Many figher ships will launch into space and try to be the one that brings home the medal. Unfortunatly, they are very weak, and can be shot down with one bullet. This level is best completed with the Projecter Wave at first, then on the second part, the Ring Blaster will surely be usefull. Slowly but surely, you'll get through this level, but watch out for the cannons attached to various parts of the girders. After you beat the mid-boss, you'll be off to other parts, and you will meet more cannons, and their new friends! HUGE Ball shaped creatures between the cannons will jump out and detach themselves while surprising you. Shoot these things down, before they get you, then onward to the boss...
Pump this guy with as many bullets as you can. As you shoot him, he will start changing colors...from gray to blue, to purble, to pink, to red, and finally to space dust. This boss may be tricky because of the way you can only shoot him whenever it opens up to fire out the giant shots. Also, this boss will release an arrowhead shaped item that seeks you out slowly. As this item approaches you, quickly move aside, and it will shoot off to the side also while completely missing you.
AREA 3
This level starts out slow, and speeds up very quickly. This level can be considered part bonus level, and part dangerous. Purple gells are very very plentiful, and so are weapons and enemies. With the right touch, you just may become very powerful by the end of the level. Only a few times have I become so powerfull, that a flashing ship will come out, and give me an extra player along with ULTIMATE firepower.
Many towers will pop up from the ground, and as you shoot them, dozens of purple gels will appear. The only super harmful enemy in this level is the spinning discs. You will need to pour on the firepower to these guys, but it may be good idea just to dodge them.
By this point, you should be a very powerful person with an endless supply of weapons. Shoot this buglike creature, and all of the little spiders, with rounds and rounds of fire. This boss should be a cinch.
AREA 4
A favorite level of mine, mainly because you start out so powerfull. Pump out those bullets, and make these guys use their brains to get past you. Now just think, wouldn't it be great if you had a brain this big? Maybe we wouldn't even have to play games like this!
Shoot these round things! This level is extremely fast, and so your mind will be racing from the start to the finish! Many enemies will fly out and try to get you, but alas, your guns and your mind are more powerful than they ever will be! All weapons seem to be usefull on this level.
AREA 5
Here we go to an area that seems almost like Egypt! Strange, if the enemies wanted earth so bad, what is wrong with this planet? The Field Thunder weapon along with Full Fire seems to work the best on this level. A few shots should surround most things, and have them gone before they even know it. The pyramids will lose their tempers, and blow their tops off so that they can fire a round of missiles at you. After the pyramids come the rock clusters which shoot large round shots at you.
After the rock clusters come the faces which shoot out a lot of starburst lazers, and will eventually cover the screen with firepower. Watch out for these guys, and have them destroyed before it is too late!
