RayCrisis Series Termination PSX
Game Information
An ambitious and unethical scientist, a secret experiment gone horribly awry, and an artificially intelligent supercomputer gone mad; all the necessary ingredients for the imminent extinction of mankind. You are humanity's last hope, a hotshot pilot given the unenviable task of flying an experimental fighter into the dark heart of the Con-Human Network. Seize the controls of three Wave Rider spacecraft, each equippped with the WR-01 primary weapon array, WR-02 secondary lock-on laser system, and WR-03 single-use weapon for emergency situations. RayCrisis: Series Termination is the final entry in Taito's acclaimed trilogy of shooters, and it bombards your CRT with an abundance of fourth-generation optical stimulation: multilevel scrolling, transparency and lighting effects, and enough polygons to overload your cerebral cortex. Dodge, weave, and blast through two play modes, disintegrating wave after wave of relentless bogeys, to achieve high scores and unlock hidden bonuses. Prepare your senses, reinforce your nerves, and limber your trigger finger - the final assault has begun!

Additional Information
The survivors of this dark future escaped to a series of underground cities that had been designed for shelter in the unlikely event of Earth getting hit by an asteroid. Many of these hardy souls escaped the Network and the planet itself via space vessels while others elected to remain behind in order to disable the Network. The assault (code-named Operation Meteor) on the Network failed miserably. However, there is one last hope for the future of Earth, namely you and your piloting skills.
You are at the helm of one of three Wave Rider experimental fighters, each equipped with the WR-01 primary weapon array, WR-02 secondary lock-on laser system, and WR-03 single-use weapon for emergency situations. The lock-on missiles help you aim (a cursor) at and shoot enemies that are of a different altitude than your ship. Other weapons include wide shot, laser, homing laser, thunder laser and photon torpedo. Special weapons can only be used when they've been given time to fully charge.
As with most shooters of this type, your objective in the game is to dodge, weave and blast your way through wave after wave of alien ships. After destroying an item carrier, you can pick up one of a number of power-up items that increase the power of your shot, increase the maximum number of lock-ons, decrease the percentage of erosion, give you a bonus ship or double your current score. Two modes of play are available: Original, which lets you select three of five levels, and Special, which takes you through seven levels using a fully powered ship.
RayCrisis: Series Termination is analog control and vibration function compatible. It also supports the PocketStation, a special memory card with an LCD screen and simple controls. Released only in Japan, the PocketStation lets you download certain games from your PlayStation and play them on the go.
