Developed by Compile and published by Toho, Super Aleste arrived on the Super Nintendo in 1992 as a shoot 'em up.
It came out in the SNES's second year on the market. Other notable SNES releases from 1992 include The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Super Mario Kart and Final Fantasy V.
It is part of the Aleste series; on the SNES you can also try Space Megaforce. The series also appears on other systems with Aleste (Master System) and Power Strike II (Game Gear). Compile also made Super Puyo Puyo 2 for the SNES.
This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.

- you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)
- you've played the SNES hits and want something less obvious
Maybe skip it if…
- you dislike high difficulty and screens full of bullets
- you are looking for something to play with friends
What playing Super Aleste is like
Shoot 'em ups (shmups) put you in a ship facing waves of enemies and bullets. Runs are short and intense, and the goal is to survive, collect power-ups and push your high score.
Tip for newcomers: Focus on your ship's small hitbox rather than the flood of bullets, and learn which power-ups suit each stage. Most shmups are designed to be replayed many times.
