GG Aleste 3
Also know as: GGアレスタ3 | GG Aresuta 3
The plot follows Luna Waizen, a pilot candidate from the Earth Orbital Army Lunar Defense Corps, who is scrambled into service after destruction of the Moon Child base to fight against cyber terrorists that have seized control of the Earth's satellites. Prior to starting, a configuration menu is presented where multiple option settings can be altered. Its gameplay follows the same conventions as the original GG Aleste and GG Aleste II; The player controls the "Are Savior" fighter craft through seven increasingly difficult stages over a constantly scrolling background, populated with an assortment of enemy forces and obstacles, and the scenery never stops moving until a boss is reached, which must be fought to progress further. The player has a main weapon that can be powered up by collecting "Power Chips". There are also six different special weapons that can be picked up and upgraded if the same weapon is picked up that is currently being used. The bomb mechanic introduced in GG Aleste II was replaced with a shield power-up instead, which is activated once twenty Power Chips are collected and allows the player to only absorb one enemy hit. Getting hit will result in losing a life, as well as a penalty of decreasing the Are Savior's firepower to its original state and the game is over once all lives are lost, though the player has limited continues to keep playing.
