Hellfire is a 1989 arcade shoot-em-up developed by Toaplan and published by Taito. It was ported to the Sega Mega Drive in 1990 by NCS and published by Seismic. Rather than following the normal Gradius-style upgrade-your-weapons pattern of most schmups of the time, your ship, the CNCS1, can fire either straight to the right (pink), straight to the left (yellow), straight up and down (green), or diagonally in four directions (blue), switching between these modes by pressing . shoots, and shoots the Hellfire, a much more powerful version of your shot which comes in limited quantities for each level.
