Star Dragon

A dragon made of a trail of 15 stars slithers about the sky, and you move the Dragon Gun left and right along the bottom, firing upward. Only a shot on the dragon's head counts: that star falls away and the next one becomes the head. A shot that hits any other star ricochets down at a random slant, and a bouncing shot that reaches the gun destroys it, as does the dragon touching it. You have three guns, and losing one starts the dragon over with all 15 stars. The last star of a dragon is worth 20 points for the first two dragons of a level and 60 for the third. There are ten levels of three dragons, each level faster. A gun that stays still draws the dragon down onto it.

Controls: Use controller 1 or 2. Push left or right to move the gun; press either button to fire, one shot a press. On the title, push up and down to choose START, HOW TO PLAY or CREDITS and press a button.
