[ 1 ] It made its debut on the Japanese PC-8801 in 1986, and was ported to the Fujitsu FM-7 and DOS formats soon after. It was later remade for the Sega CD and has a sequel called Silpheed: The Lost Planet for the PlayStation 2 . Silpheed is the name of the spacecraft that the player controls, and is most likely derived from the famous ballet, La Sylphide . Like many shooter games, the story involves using the Silpheed as Earth's last effort to save itself from destruction by a powerful enemy invasion . The original 1986 PC-88 version used 3D polygonal graphics on top of a tilted third-person backdrop. [ 2 ] The 1993 Sega CD version later used pre-rendered computer animation as a full motion video background, a technique previously used by the Namco System 21 arcade game Galaxian 3 . Gameplay Screenshot taken from the PC-88 version. Silpheed is a vertical-scrolling shooter video game. It is presented at an oblique view camera angle, with enemies and other objects becoming smaller as they move towards the top of the screen. [ 3 ] The player assumes the role of a starship named the SA-08 Silpheed, deployed by the Yggdrassil supercomputer to destroy the Xacalite terrorist organization. [ 3 ] The Silpheed can freely move about the screen. [ 3 ] In each level, the player is tasked with destroying various enemies while avoiding their projectiles. [ 3 ] By shooting down red-colored orbs found throughout levels, the player can acquire one of five different weapon types, each with their own unique behavior and strengths; these include homing missiles, an auto-aiming shot, and a "phalanx" spread-shot laser. Weapons can be attached to either side of the Silpheed. [ 3 ] Sega CD version The Sega CD port of Silpheed places polygon ships over a pre-rendered video background; this method is also seen in other video game titles, like Namco's Galaxian 3 in 1990 and StarBlade in 1991, Sony Imagesoft 's Bram Stoker's Dracula in 1992, and Micronet's A/X-101 in 1994 for the Sega CD. The game's story concerns a space war campaign when terrorists—led by a man named Xacalite—hack into the mother computer of Earth, granting them control over all the space weaponry of the Solar System . The Earth's only hope is a small fleet outside the computer's reach, provided with a squadron of SA-77 Silpheed dogfighters (referred to as "prototypes" in the manual for the PC version). In the ending credits sequence of this version, there are cinematic animations of scenes depicting the fighters flying through stages in the game.
