SNK continues to dig deep into their pre-NEO GEO catalog, this time delivering Alpha Mission, a top-down shooter with more depth than you would expect from a game from 1985.
 Unlike standard space shooters, Alpha Mission capitalizes on both air-to-air and air-to-ground combat. Your ship, the SYD, comes equipped with lasers on the X button for airborn combat and unlimited missles on the circle button to take out ground-based foes. In addition to a variety of pickups that increase the SYD's speed, number of laser shots, and number of simultaneous missles, there is another mechanic that makes Alpha Mission stand out.
