In the early days of the Game Boy, Nintendo was eager to populate the system with games of all genres. This decision lead them down some interesting alleys, but perhaps none more so than the route of creating a vertical scrolling shooter called 'Solar Striker'. An unusual genre for Nintendo to cover yes, but the real question, as always, is of course is it any good?
This is the 106th episode of Boyographic, the series looking to highlight the highs and lows of the Gameboy library, playing the hits and the misses so you don't have to!
All footage is used in fair use to give a cultural perspective of the character and context for this game's release. All footage is owned by it's respective copyright holders, and was not created by myself. I do not own any other footage used at the beginning of the video.
