Blazing Lazers is a Vertical Scrolling Shooter for the Turbo Grafx 16, produced by Hudson Soft and developed by Compile (whose name only appears in the game's end credits as "cooperator"). In Japan it was titled Gunhed, and was a tie-in to a movie of the same name; however, the game and movie barely resemble each other. The game has nine variously space-themed stages which are slightly wider than the screen. Four weapon types are available, each of which can be upgraded by collecting purple orbs and items which give additional firepower.
