silpheed is a shooter for sega cd where you pilot the SA-77 "Silpheed" Tactical Fighter Spacecraft. the game sports some impressive polygons (yes POLYGONS!) for its time with mind blowing cut scenes and full 3D backgrounds. the music is cool and does a good job of following whats happening on screen. its also in full cd sound quality. you only have one life in silpheed and if you die the game ends but your ship does have shields that can withstand a decent amount of damage and can be repaired with powerups you find. between levels you can select a couple different weapon configurations. the boss battles are hard but are doable. the whole game is easy compared to other shooters I've played like Robo Aleste but hard enough to be challenging. all in all a very good game that's worth buying.
I found that the gameplay is fun and that it can become addictive real quickly. Silpheed is a true gem on the Sega CD as I totally recommend that anyone with the console go ahead and play it. With this title, I have noticed a great balance between difficulty and reward; this balance brings forth a unique experience that is sure to leave a lasting impression on the player.

The rating excelent option is a good start, but Silpeed is more. One of the most remarcable shoot'em up of the video-games history. Full of enemies, deadly cenarios (yeah, some asteriods of the backgrouns are not exactly on the backgroud), it's dramatically fast (you will get lost sometimes). Well, the polygons without textures may look ugly today, but on 1993 was good. But the game is not a realy 3D game, it's a 2D shooter whith a perpective, the enemies apper small on te top of the screen but while they are close, they get bigger. Silpheed was called a Starfox killer on 1993, but it is not true. Silpeed has better grafics, but Starfox is a complete diferent game. Starfox you control the ship from back. Silpheed is a regular shooter, you see the ship from above, like a 2D game. Well, I strongly recommend that all play this game at least once on life.Read full review

You’re the pilot of a SA-77 Silpheed tactical fighter spacecraft and you need to save the earth’s Grayzon computer defense system from attack. You’ll soar through 11 battle stages with left and right main weapons and a choice of optional systems like the Graviton bomb, the EM Defense System, the Photon Torpedo, and the Anti-Matter Bomb. Clear Channel voice alerts from other pilots warn you of incoming trouble.
Silpheed is a solid game. The pre-rendered backgrounds give you the illusion of polygon backgrounds. The controls are silky smooth with the 6 button controller, and the fair challenge will keep you coming back. Must own for all SCD owners.
