I think SilpHeed is one of the "better" games out there.  You polit a
spacecraft and battle against different alliens, each with there own
look, flying style and weapon.  Along the way you can aquire better
weapons youeself.  The sounds and graphics are good in my option.  The
only disappointing graphics are during the demo that runs while you
are not playing.  As always, the please look this up in your manual
question is annoying.  Silpheed is a lot easier to win then Thexder is,
but still a challange!
