[x68000] Illumination Laser - Longplay

Illumination laser is a doujin shoot'em up developed for the sharp x68000 by TERRA in 2014 (but almost finished in 1994). This is a game that has been considered lost for a long time. Not too long ago a collector spotted this game among others of a lot on yahoo auctions. The auction ended on the massive figure of 80,000 yen (almost $1000 , won trough the collaborative action of a group of people). The game was going to be dumped onto ROMs, but the developer , named TERRA , learned of the auction, and formally asked that winners of the auction not release that copy of the game . Then he dusted off his X68000 and decided to put the finishing touches on the game and release it to the public under the name Illumination Laser - Rebuild Edition. GAMEPLAY You play as a ship with a violet orb floating around you. The orb can absorb enemy bullets. So with a button you shoot, with the other one you can shoot the bullets absorbed by the orb. Enemies are represented by different kinds of ships composed by cristals. These ship can shoot bullets of different colours, each color gives a specific property to the bullets (speed, chasing...). When you get 50,000 points a shield will activate and protect your ship (you will hear a sound). Then the ship's shield will reactivate at every increment of 50,000 points. If shield is already active, that is when a sphere will drop. If you collect 8 spheres you get a life. TWO CENTS This is a fantastic doujin shmup with very original ideas , good musics and graphics. The boss of level 7 is particularly cool in my opinion. The game is quite difficult and when the screen in filled with bullets there is a moderate amount of slowdown. So I played till levels 4 with MPU Clock set to 10 Mhz, then I switched to 25 MHz to get the game run faster. Special thanks to TERRA for sharing this game with the community!
