Terra Cresta
Description
In the follow-up to Moon Cresta, a well-guarded planet is being invaded. You will have to make a succession of passes over the landscape, shooting out ground turrets and aliens. Numbered bases release power-ups when shot - these can either be used in combination or (by pressing the space bar) in Formation Mode, covering a wider range of shooting positions. Each pass over the planet ends with a boss; the third and final one with a boss who can only be killed if you are at maximum power. Death puts you back to the start of the world.

An excellent shoot-em-up that didn't get lost in the conversion process
The Good
It's a cool arcade game, and a very good C64 conversion it! Good on the technical front, content wise, everything is there that needs to be.
The exclusive title screen music, composed by Martin Galway, is legendary!
The Bad
It's extremely hard! Not without a reason, it's got that Japanese kind of tough but well calibrated challenge to it. Still, I wish I could explore more from it.
The Bottom Line
Just wanted to point out some of the wins from the usual crud of arcade conversions.
