Xain'd Sleena
1986 video game
Xain'd Sleena (ザインドスリーナ) is a 1986 scrolling shooter platform video game developed and published by Technōs Japan for arcades. It was licensed for release outside of Japan by Taito. In the US, the game was published by Memetron under the title Solar Warrior. The European home computer ports renamed it to Soldier of Light.
Gameplay
The main character, Xain, is a galactic bounty-hunter who must defeat evil forces who oppress five different planets. The player can select any order to play the various planets, so, there is no 'official' sequence of play (the U.S. version, released as Solar Warrior, goes through a set sequence instead of having the option to choose planets).
Each planet is played with right horizontal and vertical scrolling, shooting enemies and dodging natural hazards. Xain can crouch, double crouch (prone), jump and double jump. In some of the planets the player will need to kill a sub-boss to resume. Certain enemies carry a powerup which changes the default laser gun into a different weapon.
