«©NCSX» New and factory sealed copy of Salamander for the PC-Engine which is in excellent collectible condition with shiny shrinkwrap that captures the glint of the sun like water running through a bubbling brook.

The title screen allows players to choose "Beginner" or "Expert" mode. Upon starting a new game, a short tutorial lists the various power-ups and their functions such as the "Speed-Up," "Ripple Laser," and "Multiple." The first three stages that may be enjoyed are as follows:
Stage 1: Bionic Germ - Fly through a fleshy biological battlefield and shoot up a brain that sprouts arms at the end of the level.
Stage 2: Meteorite Space - The screen goes vertical and the Vic Viper blasts away at enemies, avoids asteroids, and faces off against a boss that sports arms that whirl around like a slow moving windmill.
Stage 3: Burning Chaos - Lava fields above and below are accompanied by arcs of fire that leap across the screen. Firebirds and other flitting enemies populate the stage. The end-level boss is a fire breathing dragon that's reminiscent of the protagonist from the SFC game Syvalion.
