Their goal is to conquer the universe.īalangool Captains are stationed at each stage, guarding giant super powered transmitters. Balangool Space Soldiers receive instructions from L-Brain while engaged in interplanetary invasions. L-Brain, Master Control of Balangool, secured in Section Z of Fortress Balangool, headquarters of this brutal enemy force, transmits communiqués throughout the universe. Your goal: penetrate Section Z, destroy L-Brain Master Control, defeat the evil Space Soliders of Balangool, and save Planet Earth. You are challenged as you fight through Sections A to Section Z - where 'L-Brain', Balangool's Master Control, programs domination of the universe. You and Captain Commando must maneuver safely through four levels of adventurous battle scenes, penetrating the defenses established by the Space Soldiers of Balangool. Concealed in a special solar-energized, jet-propelled supersonic spacesuit, and armed with multi-directional weaponry, you depart Earth's surface on a death-defying mission. You unite with freedom-fighter Captain Commando to enter the outer regions of space. You shed your earthly identity to become the one remaining astronaut in space. High frequency radio and television communications between Planet Earth and the space-exploring Saturn Space Station blast warnings of approaching invaders, then abruptly cease. Rather than going through lettered sections, from Section A to Section Z, the player must now travel through 60 numbered sections (in fact, there is no Section Z at all in this conversion.) The stages are also non-linear, providing the player with two choices at the end of each section, allowing the player to choose which course he or she takes through the game. This game only scrolls from left to right, as opposed to the arcade which scrolls in four different directions. However, beyond that, it differs from the arcade significantly. The home conversion of Section Z is based around the same idea of gameplay a jet-packed soldier with the ability to fire to the right as well as to the left, who must survive several automatically scrolling stages. It was published in Europe two years later. It was initially developed and published for the Famicom Disk System in Japan in 1987, and it was converted to cartridge format and published in the US for the NES that same year. Section Z is the home conversion of an arcade game of the same name, developed by Capcom.
