The golden age of the PC-Engine was a wonderful time for gamers. NCS still recalls the first time we ever played R-Type on the Engine which was on a meager 4M Hu-card. The conversion was nigh perfect and a testament to the power of console. There were many more shooters back in the day which were coin-op conversions as well as original fodder for shmup fans to eat up at JPY5800 a pop. Over the years, one of the publishers that produced a steady stream of shooters for the Engine was Hudson and their flagship franchise was the Star Soldier series.From 1990 to 1992, Hudson released four Star Soldier games as follows:
» Super Star Soldier
» Final Soldier
» Soldier Blade
» Star Parodier
Nearly two decades after Super Star Soldier, Hudson compiles all four games onto a single UMD for the Sony PSP. To give fans a little something extra, a gallery section includes bonus material including video of a perfect player blowing through the games without making a single mistake. Preorders are welcome to ship on September 25, 2008 at JPY2800 or US$28.90 from NCS.
