A series of vertical Shoot 'Em Up (employing a titled Pinball-esque playfield) by Game Arts. The games were noted for their cinematic bent, embracing new technologies for a more elaborate and dramatic presentation than most shmups.In 3032, humanity discovers an abandoned alien spaceship outside Pluto. Efforts to reverse-engineer it lead to significant technological progress and the colonization of outer space, but the fledgling United Force struggles to maintain social cohesion in the face of rapid development. Tragedy strikes when terrorist leader Xacalite captures the United fleet's new flagship, Gloire, and raids a stockpile of planet buster missiles. Having no time to regroup the fleet, the UUF computer Yggdrassil orders to deploy the advanced Silpheed Super Dogfighter prototype and wage a guerrilla war on Xacalite's forces before he conquers the universe.Originally released in 1986 for PC88, Silpheed: Super Dogfighter's success would see it get ported to a variety of computer platform and get localized by Sierra as part of the publisher's effort to introduce Japanese computer games to American consumers. The game would prove to be a tremendous stylistic inspiration for future shooters.For instance… Notably, the first Star Fox homages the wireframe Fighter-Launching Sequence and Andross's polygonal form is a dead ringer for XacaliteA Remake would be released for the Sega CD in 1993. In this version of the story, Xacalite hacks the Grayzon System responsible for managing the Galaxy Union's unmanned defense fleet in 3076, launching vicious strikes on the colonies. Some 64 light-years away, the survivors of the defense fleet regroup to strike back at Xacalite. As a pilot of the advanced SA-77 Silpheed fighter, you stand as Earth's last hope. The game was a major showcase for the Sega CD's Full Motion Video capabilities, using a combination of simple real-time rendered polygonal models overlaid on streamed FMV backgrounds. This version of the game would later be ported to the Sega Genesis Mini 2 in 2022 by M2.A 2001 sequel would be released for the Playstation 2. Co-developed with Treasure, Silpheed: The Lost Planet takes place 31 years after the events of the first game, where the deep-space colony of Solont makes first-contact with an alien race. The aliens, dubbed Quasi-Biological Interstellar Entity of a Hostile Nature, are immediately hostile and quickly take over Solont. As the sole survivors of their homeworld, the Solont Defense Fleet must race back to Earth before the QBs do.Game Arts would later produce the 2007 3D space combat game Project Sylpheed for the Xbox 360, although the game shares no relation to the series beyond the name. | |

Darker and Edgier: The Lost Planet, which goes from a simple terrorist plot to a massive alien invasion, with Solont being corrupted into the aliens' headquarters and everything going From Bad to Worse. It also has a T rating. | |

One-Hit-Point Wonder | |
| Silpheed (Video Game) / int_2a87a4b9 | comment |
One Hitpoint Wonder: A notable Shoot 'Em Up aversion. You have a shield that protects you from 5 (original game), 6 (Sega CD) or 7 (The Lost Planet) hits and you can recharge it by collecting items or, in The Lost Planet's case, docking with the support vehicle at pre-determined points. In the first two games, you can also survive additional hits after the shield has expired though doing so incurs Subsystem Damage | |

From Bad to Worse | |
| Silpheed (Video Game) / int_7870735b | comment |
From Bad to Worse: The plot of The Lost Planet. The aliens easily overpower the SDF and take over Solont. Then, while the Federal assembly drag its feet regarding the crisis, the Solont survivors stage a rescue operation, only to find the planet corrupted and everyone dead. Then when the senate does call in for an IPBM strike, the aliens fortified Solont so heavily they No-Sell the weapon. The survivors head to the nearest military station, only for the QBs to assault it and assimilate the Federation starchart, giving them the location of every human settlements. It's only at the very end they find victory. | |

The End... Or Is It? | |
| Silpheed (Video Game) / int_9e86e227 | comment |
The End... Or Is It?: You have just defeated Xacalite and Gloire. Now the Galaxy is filled with great peace. The PC-88 version follows said victory screen with Xacalite speaking, but the speech is missing from the DOS version (which simply cuts to credits). No subtitles either. | |

Subsystem Damage | |
| Silpheed (Video Game) / int_a6653039 | comment |
Subsystem Damage; In the first two games, taking damage after your shield has been depleted will randomly disable one of your engine (slower movement), disable either of your left/right weapon or remove autofire capability (Super Dogfighter only). A third hit will destroy the ship. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Silpheed (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Super Dogfighter's intro quotes the line " How many ages hence Shall this our lofty scene be acted over In states unborn and accents yet unknown?" from Shakespeare's " Julius Caesar''. In the Sega CD game, allied pilots can be heard saying "Look at the size of that thing!" and "There's too many of them!" | |
