Space Shadow Hyper Shot

Space Shadow Hyper Shot (スペースシャドー ハイパーショット) is a light gun game developed and published by Bandai for the Famicom in 1989. It is an on-rails sci-fi game that takes its inspiration from the claustrophobic killer aliens movie Aliens. The player walks down an octagonal hallway and shoots any hostile extra-terrestrial life that bursts forth from one of the side-passages or the ceiling.

There are a total of five stages in this game. You have access to a machine-gun weapon, as well as grenades. However, ammunition for both weapons is limited. If you run out of ammo at any point in the game, you will lose. Therefore, it is important to conserve your ammunition throughout the game.

Space Shadow was the pack-in game for the Bandai Hyper Shot, a sub-machine gun shaped Light Gun for the Famicom. It was essentially a modified Zapper with rapid fire capability. It also had a direction pad built into it, allowing you to both shoot and move. Despite the fact that Light Gun games tended to do far better in the US, neither the Hyper Shot nor this game were ever released outside of Japan.
