Partly inspired by the ThunderForce series, Hyper Duel is a 1993 TechnoSoft arcade horizontal shmup that got a Japanese Saturn release in late 1996.
Man one of the highly experimental Buster Gears — an advanced system that transforms from ship to mecha — and aim to recover the stolen Black Angel from terrorists.
Yet another Saturn gem that stayed in Japan, but the language barrier isn’t a huge issue here. Colorful and exciting, Hyper Duel is a great game.
A Saturn fan since the beginning, Peter plays Saturn almost exclusively. For Peter, Saturn represents a moment in time where 2D games were at their best, 3D was just rising, and fascinating gaming ‘firsts’ were commonplace. There are very few Saturn games that Peter cannot find some enjoyment in!
