About "Star Trader
Star Trader" is a side-scrolling shooting game released by Nihon Falcom in 1989. Although it is a shooting game, "Star Trader" is an adventure game with a story that develops depending on the player's choices. This allows players to enjoy a new storyline by choosing different options even after clearing the game once.
The game takes place in space, where players act as "space couriers" to earn money and strengthen their machines as they conquer stages. The game features strategic and realistic gameplay, such as battles against huge battleships, and in some stages, the game scrolls in reverse to the left direction.
