Arcade Archives: Nebulasray

Ultimately, NebulasRay feels like a title that has gained cult classic status simply because so few people have actually had the opportunity to play it. It's a decent blast that's jolly good fun with an additional player, and if you limit yourself when it comes to continues, it offers a stern test for shmup fans. However, the CGI visuals date the game, and the weapon system arguably lacks the inventiveness of other titles from the same time period, such as RayForce's lock-on laser mechanic. It's also worth noting that NebulasRay carries a premium price tag within the Arcade Archives range, retailing for (at the time of writing) $14.99 / £13.49, while the traditional price is $7.99 / £6.29. Still, if you're interested in owning a piece of coin-op history and have a soft spot for the genre, then you should definitely check this one out.
