Īstrologers, of course, said that it was the most unfortunate, violent, and dangerous star in the heavens, and it certainly has been one of the best observed, as the most noteworthy variable in the northern sky. The 17th-century English astrologer William Lilly regarded any planet to be afflicted when within five degrees of conjunction. It may be connected to the periodic lucky prognosis in an ancient Egyptian calendar for lucky and unlucky days composed about 3200 years ago. Medieval Arabic commanders tried to ensure that no important battle began whilst the light of Algol was weak. Historically, it has received a strong association with violence across a wide variety of cultures. Ptolemy referred to it as “the Gorgon of Perseus” and associated it with death by decapitation: mirroring the myth of the hero Perseus’ victory over the snake-headed Gorgon Medusa.
Credits | Soundtrack | Codes | Walkthroughĭemonstar is a shareware game developed by Mountain King Studios, based on their earlier game Raptor.In astrology, Algol is one of the most unfortunate stars. It is a top-down vertical scrolling shooter game with an outer space theme. The game shares many similarities with the Raiden series. Demonstar features various power-ups, including smart bombs and other power-ups which modify the types of projectiles that the player's ship fires.
#DEMONSTAR VERY RARE VERSION FULL VERSION#
The full version of the game features 18 levels.
At the end of each level is a boss ship that the player must defeat to finish the stage.ĭemonstar's storyline is not considered a major part of gameplay in Demonstar, and it is not featured in-game. One can only find a short description in the game's help file. The story starts with the Terran Fleet developing a new prototype starfighter (the RaptorX), and the player is a test pilot of that prototype.
Suddenly, the Xidus Armada Fleet, the Terran Fleet's arch enemy (ever since Galactix), launches an all-out surprise attack on the Terran Fleet that catches them with their guard down, destroying all Raptor fighters in the process, save the few RaptorX prototypes which were away being tested. Now the player must battle through the Xidus Fleet alone, destroy their ultimate weapon, codenamed the Demonstar, and save the rest of the Terran Fleet. Secondary shots (floating colored icons with an "S"). The player starts with a primary shot which can't be upgraded at start or after death. Magnetic pulse (orange balls): a rare power-up which homes on to the enemy its power is weak at the start, but after upgrading it matches the ion cannon in power.Plasma cannon (red strips): the most powerful and most concentrated shot of all fires a single beam of plasma cannon in the forward direction and a small spread of lower-powered shots either side.Ion cannon (blue strips): more powerful than proton lasers, but shoots only in the forward direction.Proton laser (yellow strips): the weakest of all, but gives the ability to spread-shot after upgrades and can attack enemies at a wide angle.There are four type of projectiles available: The secondary weapons add extra strength. If the player collects another type of secondary shot, it will set that shot to level 1. All secondary shots can be upgraded only 6 times towards their highest levels. Further upgrades of the same type release a 360-degree attack (e.g. More ion cannon power-ups release small ion bombs following 6 upgrades or the "Full Power" power-up). The power of both primary and secondary shots diminishes with distance. Let y be = to yellow, b be = to blue, r for red, and o for orange. If y=>7 than the format of the 360-degree attack is the circumference of the circle. If b=>7 the 360 burst is a regular star with the point pointing upwards to the top of the screene. If r=>7 many red dots appear in a spiral to. If o=>7.well format seems to actually also home in onto the enemies.
