GG Aleste (GGアレスタ) is a shoot 'em up released in 1990 for the Sega Game Gear. It was only released in Japan and is one of the few Compile Game Gear games published by Compile rather than Sega.
Story[]
Year 2065 AD. After the failure of the first Integrated Earth State to advance into the outer planets, a huge mobile weapons army suddenly appeared in the jet-black space. They challenged the Integrated Earth State and destroyed the SDF (Space Force).
"We have taken control of the Earth. Your future lives are forfeit!"
Calling themselves "Moon Child", they conquered Earth and captured a few remaining SDF soldiers who were sent to a colony under construction. While most soldiers are overtaken by despair, some still do not give up hope... A teenage girl and a genius pilot, Ellinor Waizen...
The special fighter GG Aleste, developed specially for her, was secretly brought into the colony by the development team led by Ellinor's grandfather Seft Waizen. Ellinor now heads into the void where the battle awaits, piloting the GG Aleste to save the Earth.
Gameplay[]
GG Aleste plays similarly to other tiles in the series, with the player having access to a forward-firing gun powered up by P chips and multiple secondary weapons which can be swapped by picking the corresponding icon. This time however secondary weapons are powered up by picking up a separate P icon dropped by certain enemies, instead of having to pick the same weapon icon multiple times. In addition to those the player also has access to limited use smart bombs.
