Armalyte
Sega Genesis · 1988
About this game
In the Delta region of space, the remnants of a long forgotten war remain - far beyond what those in the Terran system were used to.
This technology is potentially valuable, but retrieving it from the 8 sectors will involve a lot of blasting and dodging.

Armalyte is a left-to-right horizontally-scrolling shooter and was marketed as the sequel to Delta , even though that one was done by different developers.
Extra weapons are gained by shooting crystals and then collecting the resultant pod.
Weapons on offer including lasers firing vertically and outwardly, as well as faster weaponry recharging.
Weapons upgrades are not lost when dying, but they are taken away at the start of a new level, except for the batteries and the generators that are reduced one level above the initial one, if applicable.
There are eight levels and a boss at the end of each one, with smaller bosses in the mid sections.
Some parts of the scenery can also be lethal to the ship.
The craft is accompanied by a computer-controlled drone with the same capabilities and in the two-player mode it is replaced by a regular ship.
The later PC version is done by a different team but officially approved by the owners of the IP.
It has the same gameplay, but updated graphics, animation, music and sound effects.
About Sega Genesis
Known as the Mega Drive outside North America, the Sega Genesis (1988/1989) was Sega's most successful console and Sonic the Hedgehog's original home, fueling the "console wars" era against Nintendo's SNES. Genesis cartridge collecting is well-established: common sports and platformer titles are affordable, while sports-license and later-era games with smaller print runs can carry a meaningful premium.
Gamevaro tracks Armalyte for Sega Genesis with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Armalyte to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GEN release dates back to 1988.
