Gaiaresnote pronounced "guy-are-us," as a promotional T-shirt explained is a Horizontal Scrolling Shooter by Telenet Japan for the Sega Genesis, released in 1990.In the year 3000, the Earth has become a toxic dump ravaged by careless humans, leaving an uninhabitable, polluted wasteland. The space pirates Gulfer, led by the evil Queen ZZ Badnusty (Zelduon in the Japanese original), plan to harvest the pollution to create weapons of mass destruction. The United Star Cluster of Leezaluth sent a warning to the Earth about their plans, stating that if they could not stop them, they would be forced to supernova Earth's sun to do so themselves; but if they succeeded, Leezaluth would give them a new world to migrate to. Dan Dare(not to be confused with this guy)(Diaz in the Japanese original), a young pilot from Earth was chosen to be the pilot of a new fighter ship to combat the Gulfer. The ship is armed with a powerful experimental weapon from Leezaluth called the TOZ System, which would be operated by Alexis (Luanne in the Japanese original), the emissary from Leezaluth.Most horizontal shooters require the player's ship to come in contact with a capsule to gain weapons. Gaiares design was different, and featured one of the most original and unique weapon power-up system in the shooters genre to date. The TOZ System device can be fired out like a Force from R-Type, except each time it comes in contact with the enemy, it would inherit and learn that weapon; repeatedly the player can steal from the same enemy until the weapon is maxed-out in strength. In total there are 18 weapons to be captured and the appearance of each weapon varies depending on the strength meter.

Selective Gravity: The third stage had multiple black holes which only sucked in the player, mooks, and enemy shots. Your shots were unaffected by the gravity.

comment
Disc-One Nuke: The G-Beam can be fully powered up by the first Mini-Boss. Once the three ships connect together, use the TOZ system on it three times to obtain the fully-powered up G-Beam... The Tektite Blaster (T-Braster) can consistently be obtained even earlier in the same stage, allowing you to easily breeze through the stage. Unfortunately, it has to be reobtained on each stage (as do other Secret Weapons).

Attack Its Weak Point
 Gaiares (Video Game) / int_82108e3d
comment
Attack Its Weak Point: The bosses are pretty much all like this. As well as some of the regular mooks. The first boss, a mechanical angel, was weak in the chest area. Hitting the head did no damage to it. The second boss, a mermaid robot, was weak in the head. The third boss, a giant Grim Reaper, was also weak in the head. The fifth boss, a mechanical dragon, was immune to damage in the head area- you had to shoot its chest when the arms weren't blocking it. The sixth boss, a Humongous Mecha female gladiator, could be damaged anywhere in the head of the body... as long as her shield was down for a second.

Hailfire Peaks: The fifth stage has the player travel between icy planet and the surface of a star. The first stage had the player go through an Asteroid Thicket followed by a Floating Continent. The second stage was the descent to a snowy, mountainous landscape, before going into an underwater cave. The third stage took you through a nebula with black holes, before the player entered a Temple of Doom. The fourth stage had the player travel through a field of space debris, a destroyed space station, then an organic cave.
