Arrow Flash

The Good
Arrow flash is this side scrolling game which features cute anime-style super deformed characters. The graphics are good, but not wonderful. It doesn't compare to games like Thunder Force 3, but its still a fun game. Your ship can transform from a space ship to a mecha.

It controls very well and has the virtue of not being too impossibly hard for younger players.

The Bad
Though the graphics are well drawn, the programmer of the game REALLY like the colors blue, red, pink, and gray; let me just put it that way.

The power ups and weaponry basically suck and the ability to transform your ship from vehicle to mecha is essentially worthless.

The Bottom Line
Gairares, Thunder Force Series, R-Type series, Sidearms (turbo grafx 16), Air Buster
