Gaiares (ガイアレス) is a 1990 shoot-'em-up by Telenet Japan released for the Sega Mega Drive in the Japan and US only, published by Renovation. The US version also came with a poster.

Story

In the year 3000, humans have polluted Earth to such an extent that Gulfer, a group of space pirates, plan to use the pollution to fuel weapons of mass destruction. The United Star Cluster of Leezaluth feel the only way to stop this from happening is to blow the Sun up, but allows the humans one chance to save themselves: by sending Dan Dare (Diaz in Japan) in a special ship to stop Gulfer.

Aiding Dan in a special sub-ship is the TOZ System, run by Leezaluth emissary Alexis, which can steal powers from the space pirates's own ships. Should you succeed, Leezaluth will give the humans a new planet to inhabit.

Gameplay

B shoots. C sends Alexis out straight ahead to take the weapon of the nearest enemy. You can keep taking the same type of weapon, which will increase that weapon's strength, until the type has been maxed out.
