You've been re-assigned to a new squadron aboard a Tomlinson-class carrier.
There's trouble on a mining colony on the moon Janus.
Your squadron is sent in to investigate, and uncover a lot more than they went looking for.
Solar Eclipse plays kind of like a sequel to Total Eclipse for the 3DO, which gameplay is similar to Space Harrier .
You can view the game from a behind-the-ship perspective, or an in-cockpit perspective, but the scrolling is on rails and the player can only travel in one direction.
In each of the 9 missions you will find wave after wave of enemy ships, and a powerful boss ship at the end.
The story in this game is told through a series of full-motion video clips.
In addition to between-level scenes, FMV messages from your squad mates appear from time to time while you play the game.
About Sega Saturn
The Sega Saturn (1994/1995) struggled commercially against the PlayStation despite strong 2D capabilities and a library beloved by shoot-'em-up and RPG fans. Its relatively low sales translated directly into low print runs for many games, making the Saturn one of the more expensive retro platforms to collect completely — several titles now sell for hundreds of euros in good condition.
Gamevaro tracks Solar Eclipse for Sega Saturn 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 Solar Eclipse 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 SAT release dates back to 1995.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Solar Eclipse, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Sega Saturn titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
