Curse (カース) is a 1989 Sega Mega Drive shoot-'em-up by Micronet released exclusively in Japan. You play as a ship that has to save an alien planet from destruction caused by a neighboring planet that had mysteriously changed from friend to enemy over the course of centuries.
Gameplay
The game plays like a standard shoot-'em-up: 
shoots a special attack and 
shoots a regular shot, with power-ups left by defeated enemies. One powerup is a subship which can either fire ahead of you, behind you, above you, or below you; use 
to change its direction.
+ START on the title screen opens the Options menu.
Curse is one of the few Sega Mega Drive titles that doesn't run at 60FPS but rather a lower frame rate.
