Bio-Hazard Battle, called Crying - Biologic War (クライング - 亜生命戦争; Crying - Aseimei Sensou) or simply Crying in Japan, is a 1992 shoot-'em-up game by Sega for the Sega Mega Drive.
The planet Avaron was plunged into deep biological war, and a retrovirus was synthesized to try to defeat the enemy. Unfortunately, the plan backfires, and 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.
You pilot one of four bio-ships on your search. You can use 
to fire a rapid-fire shot or either 
or 
to fire a charge shot. A miniature ship circles around you that not only fires its own shots with you, but also can collect upgrades to its current weapon and can be used as a shield, taking in enemy bullets without harming you in the process. Also, unlike other shooters, you do not take damage by touching the ground on stages that do have ground.
