BlaZeon
Story. A united space force known as the Imperial Earth Army was launched past the Solar System. When the Imperial Earth Army returned, it came armed with large, living robots known as Bio-Cyborgs that it used to dominate and oppress the societies of Earth. Players assume the role of a rebel forces pilot who has launched a surprise attack against the oppressive Imperial Earth Army, armed with a recently developed weapon capable of controlling the Bio-Cyborgs. Gameplay. The player is set in control of The Garland TFF-01, a sub-standard space fighter ship that is only armed  with a semi-auto or rapid fire laser gun known as the Beam Vulcan and the Tranquilander. Some enemy units can be captured and used in play; certain enemy robots, when shot by the player's Tranquilander, will morph into an outline of themselves. The player can then fly into the outline, and take on the form of the enemy robot, taking control of its weapons, abilities and special attacks. There is also an addition to the boss battle scoring: similar to some shooters, players have the opportunity to increase their scores by beating the end level bosses within a  certain time limit. Every time a boss battle is initiated, a timer will count down and once the boss is destroyed/killed before the timer reaches zero, then the time left will add to the player's end-level score; if the timer runs out, then the score at the end of the level will remain unaffected. Extends/1 Ups were awarded every 300,000 points. The Bio-Cyborgs. "Mars": A Bio-Cyborg armed with the three-way firing Mega Cannon and comes equipped with three Atomic Shields which are two-second long explosive rings that protect the cyborg from harm. "Grain  Beat/Odyssey": A Bio-Cyborg armed only with the Funnel guns which can be arranged to fire in three different forward-firing positions. "Shadow Blade": The fastest of the Bio-Cyborgs which comes equipped with the Twin Cannon and the Dimension Field which makes the ship invincible for ten seconds. "Titan": A muscular Bio-Cyborg armed with the Slice Laser and comes equipped with unlimited homing missiles. "Neptune": A horned Bio-Cyborg armed with the Wide Lazer and is equipped with two Hyper-Bombs, a powerful blast that fires forward. "Baron": A winged Bio-Cyborg armed with the Sonic Gun  and is equipped with unlimited Diffusing Bombs, a bomb that fires onto ground forces. "Hyper D": The slowest of the Bio-Cyborgs which comes equipped with the twin, diagonal firing Beam Gun and is equipped with unlimited Vertical Shields’, a flare weapon that not only hurts enemies but also destroys most enemy shots. Super NES version. BlaZeon was ported from the arcades to the Super NES. However, there were some significant differences between the two: Reception. In Japan, "Game Machine" listed "BlaZeon" on their June 1, 1992 issue as being the tenth most-successful table arcade unit of the month . Super Gamer gave the SNES version an overall review score of 31% stating: "Terrible scrolling backgrounds and poor gameplay ensure unhappiness."
