star 7.2The Next Space is a vertically scrolling Shoot 'em Up released in 1989 by SNK for Arcades. The game is a typical scrolling shooter, with two buttons used for the primary shot and secondary shot respectively. Red capsules will leave "S" icons which will raise the ship's speed. Along the way the player will also find blue capsules which will release power-ups which equip different secondary shots into the ship. There are nine different secondary shots available, each represented by a different letter. By shooting the power-up icons the player will cycle between the letters, allowing to equip the desired weapon. Weapons don't stack, so picking up more icons of the same letter won't raise the player's firepower.Energy

A quality fantasy-themed vertical shooter with RPG elements, the game let's you choose among three distinct characters. The warrior is good at throwing axes and knives and can use his shield for protection from bullets. The wizard excels in the manipulation of elemental spirits and Ice and can perform an invisibility / invincibility spell to dodge bullets (but not enemies). While using the spell, he can't move though. Finally, the female-ninja is specialized in using Fire and the Boomerang and she has the ability to jump.
