Bio-Hazard Battle, known as Crying: Aseimei Sensou (クライング 亜生命戦争, roughly translates to "Crying: low lifeforms war)) or simply Crying in Japan, is a 1992 shoot-'em-up game by Sega for the Sega Mega Drive.
The planet Avaron (Avalon on the Japanese box) was plunged into deep biological war, and a retrovirus was synthesized to try to defeat the enemy. Unfortunately, the plan backfires: the planet is rendered nearly inhospitable, and the only survivors of the virus are sent to space to await a time when the new species of creatures that survive or thrive on the virus pose little enough a threat to set up a new colony. The game's stages display the virus outbreak, e.g. stage 2 is a ravaged city, stage 7 appears to be the facility where the virus was produced. According to the game's credits, ray tracing was used to create some graphics.

Gameplay
There are four bio-ships available to pilot. Press button 
to fire a rapid-fire shot (this was added for the western release) or hold and release either 
or 
to fire a charge shot. The charge shot is ship specific. Powerups are partially shared between ships. A miniature ship circles around the bio-ship that not only fires its own shots in time with the bio-ship, but also can collect upgrades to its current weapon and can be used as a shield, absorbing enemy bullets before they can hit the bio-ship. Also, unlike other shooters, the ship does not take damage by touching the ground on stages that do have ground.
Extra lives are given out based on score. Most worlds also have extra lives in hidden spots. These need to be fred at first in order the reveal the extra lives.
Powerups
- Green: The only weapon shared by every ship. A general purpose spreadshot and the default weapon of each ship.
- Red: A homing laser or rings that are reflected on contact
- Blue: A cross shaped laser or slow homing orbs that can also destroy enemy bullets
- Yellow: A rapid fire cannon or a straight laser that can also destroy enemy bullets
Secret Stage rumor
Various cheat sites claim there is a secret stage resembling an asterioid field. However, such an stage never existed.
