Fast Striker: addictive and available now
While the Sega Dreamcast and the Neo-Geo are not necessarily the first two classic gaming consoles that pop into one’s head, they certainly have a modern following worthy of mention. The team at NG Dev are constantly striving to pump out new games for these old consoles. With some in the works and a few teasers out there for pending ideas, it’s great to look at a current success story.
Such as it is with Fast Striker. Released in December of 2010, this 2D arcade shooting game is available for the Neo-Geo and the Sega Dreamcast. It has three different modes of play that offer three unique scoring systems, the focus of the game, like many old school shooters, is on attaining the highest score. Score, score, score.
Fast Striker has six playable stages, and forty fully animated CGI enemy ships and baddies. There are six enormous boss characters, one for each of the stages. The 3D scrolling background keeps everything interesting, not that players need more to look at. There can be as many as 180 bullets on the screen at once. To play Fast Striker, you have to be fast.
The game, and other NG Dev offerings, can be purchased here for about 33 EUR.
