Gulkave (ガルケーブ) is an SG-1000 shoot 'em up game developed by Compile and published by Sega in 1986.

Gameplay

It is a horizontal shooter, in which the player controls a spaceship that must destroy the 8 fortresses of the Gulbas Empire and several various enemies. Despite the limitations of the console, there are 30 "acts", and each "act" has a different background and there are numerous powerups available, setting it apart from most other SG-1000 shooters at the time.

  • Pressing Up Up Down Down Up Right Down Left Down Down at the demonstration screen unlocks a "Test Mode". (SG-1000 Version)
  • Pressing Right Right Left Left Up Down Left Down Down Down at the demonstration screen unlocks a "Test Mode". (MSX Version)

Default Ranking Tables

  • 1st 30000 TAF
  • 2nd 28000 HIR
  • 3rd 20000 OSH
  • 4th 18000 IMA
  • 5th 10000 PAC

Versions

Pony Canyon released a version for the MSX computer presumably also in 1986, on ROM cartridge. This version still sports a Sega logo and Sega copyright; the primary difference between the SG-1000 and MSX is the sound hardware, so the ports are relatively identical. This version was included in Compile's disk magazine DiscStation #09, released in February 1990 as that issue's "Retro Game".
