About Star Trader
Star Trader is a side-scrolling shooting game released by Nihon Falcom in 1989.
Although primarily a shooting game, this title incorporates adventure game elements, where the storyline diverges based on the player's choices and actions.
As a result, even after clearing the game once, players can enjoy new story developments by making different choices.
The game is set in space, and the player earns money as a Space Transporter while strengthening their ship and progressing through the stages.
The gameplay is characterized by its strategic depth and sense of realism. It features battles with massive battleships and, in some stages, scenes where the screen scrolls in reverse.
