Mega Drive Tracker

Official Information:
First published in 1990 by Renovation Game, Gaiares was praised for its massive boss designs, emotional story elements, and for its unique gameplay mechanic that allowed players to copy powers and weapons from enemies. Critics were quick to rave about the fast-paced action, with Mega Play calling it the “ultimate shooter.” Three decades after first hitting store shelves, Gaiares remains the best-reviewed 16-bit shoot ’em up at both Electronic Gaming Monthly and GamePro magazines.
