StarFox [Model SHVC-FO]

Star Fox © 1993 Nintendo Company, Limited.

Star Fox is a 3-D rail-shooter programmed by Argonaut Software and published by Nintendo. The evil scientist and self declared Emperor Andross threatens to take over the Lylat solar system and no one can stop him. Corneria, the fourth planet of the system, is under attack and the enemy armies are in dramatic superiority. A small group of four pilots belonging to the Star Fox Team take on the challenge and fly off their Arwing ships to planet Venom, ultimate hideout of the evil emperor. The player takes control of Fox McCloud, leader of the team, and guides his teammates (Falco, Peppy and Slippy) through three designated routes across the Lylat solar system. Although each one of the path leads to Andross's lair, they each feature an increasing difficulty level (easy, medium and hard). The Arwing comes equipped with a standard Vulcan gun and powerful, yet in limited quantities, Nova Bombs. But the real highlight of the fighter are its retractable wings and anti-gravity engine allowing for incredibly fast rolls and flips. Various power-up items are dropped by certain enemies or just scattered around the levels - they range from yellow rings (restores some shield energy), blue rings (check point and shield energy), ship rings (extra ship if the player manages to shoot the three pods that form the ring), Twin laser, temporary Power Shield, Wings (repairs a broken wing) and Nova bomb.
