Alltynex

Alltynex was a game exclusively only for the Fujitsu FM Towns computer line. The game was never even featured on arcade cabinet. "Alltynex is a vertically-scrolling shoot' em up. It's a doujin game developed by Satoshi Yoshida in 1996. He entered it in the 2nd ASCII Entertainment Software Contest (also known as A-con) held in 1996 and won the prize in the PC software category. As a result, the game was included on a CD that came with the magazine Login Softcon. In 1997 version 1.01 was released as freeware on the developer's website."

SCREENSHOTS

HISTORY

Alltynex is a Vertically Scrolling Shooter released for the FM-Towns in 1997 and was developed by perhaps a precursor to Siter Skain. It is referred to as Project Raid Wind 2, after their first game Raid Wind.

Alltynex was the second game created by Siter Skain and is the precursor to Alltynex 2nd. The game is interesting in that the fighter can change into a mech which has more powerful weapons but is generally slower.

Story

Supercomputer Alltynex goes berserk and wants to destroy everyone.

Gameplay

The fighter is armed with two modes, each with two weapons. In the standard fighter, there is an upgradeable spread shot and the secondary weapon is a slow but good tracking homing laser. The alternate mode is a mech which has a very powerful but short range sword capable of destroying some enemy bullets. The secondary weapon is a big laser that does heavy damage.

The secondary weapons use an energy meter that drains as the weapon is fired. It charges as more things are destroyed or damaged.

If the ship gets hit and has main weapon powerups, then it will not be destroyed but will be at the weakest level.

Stages

1st Area - Make an Assault on the Enemy

2nd Area - Attack the Zoldyzant Base

3rd Area - The Biting Cold Wind

4th Area - Last Defense Line

Final Area - Aggressive Attack

STORY

The story is about a supercomputer ALLTYNEX that goes rogue and decides to wage a war on all of mankind. The player controls a fighter spacecraft which can also transform into a mecha that has more powerful weapons but is generally slower. The standard fighter has an upgradeable spread shot and the secondary weapon is a homing laser. In mecha form there's a very powerful but short range sword while the secondary weapon is a big laser. Secondary weapons use an energy meter that drains as the weapon is fired. It charges as more things are destroyed or damaged. Also, as long as the player has collected at least one main weapon power-up, the first enemy hit will not destroy the player's craft, but instead reduce power-up level to zero. There are five stages in total. Two player mode is also available.
