Sargon's English translation of the MSX2 Aleste, Compile's vertical shooter that started the series.
What's translated
Sargon's patch puts the Japanese text of the MSX2 Aleste into English, so the story told around the shooting stages can be followed. Version 1.0 was released in May 2003.
About the game
Aleste is Compile's vertical shooter for the MSX2, with a pilot fighting through scrolling stages, collecting numbered weapon power-ups and surviving dense waves of enemies. It led to a long series, from Aleste 2 and Gun-Nac to the Power Strike games.
