Vsys Gaiden is a fun and very pretty vertical shooter from Japan. The idea is simple: shoot everything in sight to progress to the next level. Ray-traced graphics, good sound effects and music, and excellent ship design round off this short but fun shooter. The graphical effects of your ship’s weapons are especially good. I found the game a tad too sluggish on my P2/266, so anyone with a similar or slower system may experience the same problem. If you have a more powerful machine, though, expect to have a lot of fun with this very good-looking freeware. Highly recommended!Reviewed by: Underdogs
