Truxton is a 1988 vertically scrolling, shoot 'em up arcade game
developed by Toaplan, later ported to the Mega Drive (worldwide) and the PC Engine
(Japan-only). Like many other scrolling shooters, the game is set in outer space, where
the player takes control of a small spaceship across several planets. The game is played
with an eight-way joystick and two buttons (a shot and a bomb button) through five large
levels and their bosses (which then loop forever, at higher difficulties).
