A vertical-scrolling space shooter with upgradable fighters, relentless enemies, and fifteen levels.
The briefing
Hades Nebula is a vertical-scrolling space shooter developed by Nexus Information Systems. The player pilots an upgradable fighter through fifteen levels filled with thousands of enemy ships before facing Emperor Hades.
Face-like and bug-like enemies materialise at set points and immediately pursue the player's ship, making evasive movement essential. Mother ship bosses appear every one or two levels and require careful bullet dodging and accurate shooting to defeat.
The game offers a choice between sound effects and a musical soundtrack by Ben Daglish. The soundtrack is the default option and changes between regular levels and boss encounters.
