Galactic Attack, known as Layer Section (レイヤーセクション) in Japan, is a shoot-'em-up developed by Taito and published by Acclaim for the Sega Saturn. It is the home conversion of the Taito F3 game RayForce (レイフォース), which was known as Gunlock in Europe. Its sequel, RayStorm, also received a Japan-only Saturn conversion titled Layer Section II.
Gameplay
Galactic Attack is a vertical shoot-'em-up. The player is equipped with two weapons. The first is a standard laser shot which fires straight forwards when 
is held. The second is a lock-on weapon, which is used to target enemies in the background. A cursor in front of the player's ship automatically targets enemies up to a maximum of eight, then pressing 
fires missiles which destroy or damage all the targets simultaneously.
