Advanced Busterhawk Gley Lancer, commonly known as Gleylancer, is a 1992 Sega Mega Drive shoot-'em-up by NCS released exclusively in Japan (despite having some of its screens, such as the Mover configuration screen described below, in near-perfect English). It was released internationally on the Wii Virtual Console in 2008.

Lucia is the 16-year-old daughter of a fighter pilot who disappears while fighting a war between humans and aliens in 2025; he was captured by aliens he captured who had the ability to teleport. Lucia hijacks the prototype fighter CSH-01-XA "Gley Lancer" to save him.

The Gley Lancer is a standalone ship that can only shoot straight ahead with B (with a rapidfire) and change speed with A. However, up to two Mover sub-ships can be attached to the main ship and fire in any direction with the main ship. Before starting a game, you are given a choice of how to maneuver Movers around the ship and aim them; the C button performs some related action which is detailed in the selection screen.
