In fact, compared to the coin-op original, the Genesis port sounds more like a rumbly tummy than anything else. Sigh… such were the things gamers had to live with at the time.

Stellar Fire offers a different type of gameplay, compared to other shooters on the Sega CD, but just how much it has to give we’ll leave to you to determine.
