Sega Mega Drive Soul Star Demo Only Pal Version Fast Despatch Next Day

About this deal

Soul Star is a hybrid rail shooter and third-person shoot-em-up for the Sega Mega CD, developed by Core Design and first released in Europe in 1994. Players take the role of Bryk Hammelt from the Cryo-Commandos on a mission to exterminate the alien race known as the Myrkoids, who have arrived on the Soulstar system to invade it. Gameplay revolves around three types of space combat vehicles that the player's ship, the Aggressor, can transform into, with one mode being an on-rails shoot-em-up akin to Space Harrier, flying across a texture-mapped planetscape while shooting enemies and collecting power-ups. This is a demo-only PAL version of the game. The Soul Star demo was released twice - first with issue 10 of Mega Power, and then with issue 49 of Sega Pro CD. A great piece of Mega CD history for retro collectors, the full game made intensive use of the Sega CD hardware for its visuals and was the first title on the add-on to display sprites at 64 colours. The demo disc is a rare and sought-after item in its own right, offered here in very good condition.
