Is that B.E.R.N.A.R.D. on the bottom left, presumably ready to fire a shoot from the top of his head?

You reflect the shots off the ceiling and try to shoot the MEGA PROTONS before they destroy life as we know it.

Definitely not Arkhanoid (lol) style.

I mean, look at the picture, you goober.  :)

Your shots reflect off the ceiling and go flying to the right and come flying back down to destroy the dreaded MEGA PROTONS.

All caps isn't even enough to explain how MEGA THEY ARE.

YOU CAN SEE IT WHEN ITS DONE.

The first time anyone should see it moving and making noises is when they fire it up and try to defeat the almighty MEGA PROTONS

Pink (https://www.pcengine.co.uk/Images-Covers/COVER-Valis_III.jpg) is my favorite (https://www.pcengine.co.uk/Images-Covers/COVER-Mr_Heli.jpg) color (https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?action=dlattach;attach=15968;image), but perhaps you'd prefer a more manly blue and gray (https://www.pcengine.co.uk/Images-Covers/COVER-Ai-Cho_Aniki.jpg) background.  :P

So what's the story between these covers?

This means a couple of things. More games to add to the WTB list and need to learn that moon speak! ;)

Oh, I thought you were aware that it was 2 different games.  That's why I said play them, and you'll see, lol.

Anyway, Reflectron is done now, basically.  I fixed the last problem it had. 

Hopefully you can all afford the low low price of free.

We will have to make a game called B.E.R.N.A.R.D.'s Adventure.

Super Air B.E.R.N.A.R.D.

Guys, guys, that's just too much pink. The PC Engine isn't a girlie console. It's a manly console (unless it was made prior to the Victorian era, in which case, carry on with the manly pinkness). Just look at the manly angles. The graphics and text should all be jet black against a jet black background. If I can read any of the words or make out any of the pictures it isn't manly enough. In fact, I should probably play the game blind-folded because if I can see what's on the screen, that isn't manly enough. Only girly-men play with their TVs turned on watching what's happening on screen.
