About this game
“DIE, AND THE WORLD DIES WITH YOU!”
Toaplan's 1989 vertical shmup classic Fire Shark rises from the ashes, armed to the teeth with a brand-new beginner mode, online leaderboards, quick saves and much more! In this sequel to Flying Shark/Sky Shark, you control the incredible power of homing missiles, rapid-fire machine guns, free-falling bombs, and high-tech lasers. In Japan, this game is known as “Shark! Shark! Shark!” (or “Same! Same! Same!”).
"On a parallel Earth in 19X9, a malevolent superpower seeks to conquer every region on the map. All seems lost until a super-powered biplane emerges from the smoky haze. It's the only pilot capable of saving a billion lives… The gleaming FIRE SHARK!”

OMEGA 6 The Triangle Stars is OUT NOW
https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/45245741/f87e1fcc723e9cfa2c6a3c53321117bd9f1388fd.png It's Takaya Imamura Day! Or, as it’s also known, the launch day of OMEGA 6 The Triangle Stars! That’s right, today marks the long-awaited release of the legendary Nintendo illustrator’s latest adventure. And it’s a truly special one. OMEGA 6 The Triangle Stars is a retro-inspired space adventure for anyone who has ever fallen in love with the 16-bit aesthetic of the ‘90s. It tells the story of the androids Thunder and Kyla as they search for a new planet for humanity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4utzzsS9Rg One of the absolute best things about OMEGA 6 The Triangle Stars is the vast number of wonderful creatures and aliens you’ll encounter on your journey. But that’s hardly surprising. After all, Takaya Imamura is the man behind characters like Captain Falcon (F-Zero), Fox McCloud (Star Fox), and Tingle (The Legend of Zelda). He’s also joined by Shinobu Amayake, who worked on the soundtrack for Stunt Race FX. A true 16-bit composer, in other words! But enough talk. It’s time for you to head into the cosmos. A grand adventure among the stars awaits! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3128580/OMEGA_6_The_Triangle_Stars/Read full article on Community Announcements (andreas)AnnouncementsOfficial

DARK HORSE AND LEGENDARY GAME DESIGNER TAKAYA IMAMURA BRINGS THE COLORFUL CAST OF OMEGA 6 THE TRIANGLE STARS TO ENGLISH MANGA FANS
https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/45245741/f87e1fcc723e9cfa2c6a3c53321117bd9f1388fd.png Imamura's adventure "Omega 6" manga is available in English for the first time! Based on the upcoming pixel-art adventure game Omega 6 The Triangle Stars, Dark Horse Comics presents Takaya Imamura's (Star Fox, F-Zero) Omega 6, a complete story in one manga volume. This will be available for English readers in October 2025. Translated by award-winning manga translator Zack Davisson (H.P. Lovecraft's The Colour out of Space, Cat + Gamer), the 16-bit video game revolution is coming to comics! https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/45245741/aa95a3775e78c5ac1974420331ea14a48edb80d2.jpg Creator Takaya Imamura had this to say about bringing the original manga to English readers in conjunction with the game. "I sincerely hope that my manga and games can be enjoyed by people regardless of where they live, and it would make me very happy if my work delivers an exciting and thrilling experience!" In Omega 6: After awakening from a rejuvenating months-long stasis, androids Thunder and Kyla are ready to spring back into bounty-hunting action! With the aid of some peculiar magic fruits, the pair enter a nearly invincible berserker state. However, there's a catch—once the effect wears off, they will age rapidly and become feeble until they can return to their recovery pods. Their current target, an assassin named Petrogaze, carries an appealing $300 million credit bounty on his head. The job seems easy: the duo plans to power up, bag the bad guy, and be home before dinner. But Petrogaze is much tougher than anticipated! Forced to consume their fruits early, the bounty hunters are suddenly on a life-or-death timer. Dinner's gonna have to wait! "The videogame version is a totally different story,” confirms Junji Seki, Game Director and President of Happymeal. “Set in the same world as the Omega 6 comic, full of drama-infused encounters and battles with the 100 plus unique aliens crea...Read full article on Community Announcements (andreas)
