Memorial Star Series: Sunsoft Vol. 5

Memorial STAR Series-Sunsoft Vol.5 – Raf world & Hebereke features 2 conversions of old NES games.

RAF WORLD:
Journey to Silius is a 1990 run and gun game developed and published by Sunsoft for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Tokai Engineering also supported Sunsoft in developing the title as well. It is a slightly edited version of Raf World , a Famicom game featuring a different main character sprite. Originally, the game was to be altered to utilize the Terminator movie license, but after Sunsoft lost the rights, the game was further edited into its current state.

In the year 0373 of the new space age calendar, overpopulation of Earth has led to increased demand for emigration to space colonies. Jay McCray, the son of a scientist responsible for development of space colony #428 in the Silius Solar System (SSS), prepares to move there in order to follow in his father’s footsteps. However, the space station is obliterated in an explosion, killing the entire research team and destroying all data onboard.

In his father’s home, Jay discovers a floppy disk containing not only the complete SSS colony plans but a personal message from his father asking that he complete the projects should terrorists succeed in destroying the colony. To protect the colony plans and to avenge his father’s death, Jay sets out to fight the terrorists responsible for the space colony’s destruction.

Gameplay is similar to the Mega Man and Contra series, in that while Jay’s default weapon has unlimited ammunition, his other weapons do not; likewise, most of the weapons Jay can use are acquired by defeating major enemies, and items dropped by minor enemies restore life and energy (ammunition). He also cannot shoot upward.
