Quadrivium's Zone Terra for the MSX turbo-R is the subject of this Tool-Assisted Speed-run this time! This final recording shows the last level and the end demo.
This fast-paced shoot-em-up from 1994 contains 5 levels filled with various fast, shooting and kamikaze-run enemies, each level ending with a boss-ship.
Earth is under attack and you have to fly past several planets and moons to save humankind.
The controls are good, though response time of shooting sometimes felt a bit slow.
The music is mediocre imho, but with every level having a different tune, it didn't feel too repetitive at least.
I would've liked seeing some different kinds of weapon upgrades, but I guess the given weapons work for the game and add to the difficulty level.
