Truxton, released in Japan as Tatsujin (タシジソ), is a 1988 arcade shoot-'em-up developed by Toaplan, ported to the Mega Drive in 1989. The Gidans have begun an invasion of the Borogo and have managed to destroy all but one Borogo fighter ship; the player must take control of this ship (the "Super Fighter") and defeat the Gidans.
This port is unusual in that it appears to be written for PAL specs; the overall speed of the game, music and sound effects, etc, greatly resemble the arcade version when played at 50 FPS.
Gameplay
shoots, shoots rapidfire, and launches a bomb (which resembles a full screen size skull when exploding; you have a limited supply of these). Powerups are mostly found in predetermined areas, though some may be scattered. There are a number of types of powerups:
File:Truxton Red Powerup.png | Power Shot — the default weapon of the Super Fighter. It is a standard bullet shot, upgradable to create spread shots. |
File:Truxton Green Powerup.png | Tatsujin Beam/Truxton Beam — the strongest weapon in the game, capable of cutting straight through enemies. The downside is that it can only fire forwards. |
File:Truxton Blue Powerup.png | Thunder Laser — a continuous beam of energy that locks on to enemy targets. Upgrading adds more beams and increases the strength. |
File:Truxton P Powerup.png | Power Booster these powerups add a "P" to the HUD on the right side of the screen. After a certain number of Ps are collected (initially 5), your weapons power up one level. This powering up will last until you lose a life, but will carry over from weapon to weapon until then. There are three "levels" of upgrades. |
File:Truxton S Powerup.png | Speed Booster — increases the speed of your ship. There are five levels of speed - collecting these items after your ship is maxed out will grant the player 5000 points. |
File:Truxton B Powerup.png | Tatsujin Bomb/Destroyer Bomb — adds a bomb to your arsenal. Bombs destroy all small enemies on screen and evaporate enemy bullets. They can also significantly damage bosses. |
Stages
Though the American (and others?) manual suggests each asteroid graphic (there are eight) is a separate level, Truxton is correctly divided into five stages; each has its own musical theme and stage boss (which have their own musical theme).
