Twinkle Star Sprites

Twinkle Star Sprites is a vertically scrolling shoot 'em up developed by ADK and released for the NeoGeo in 1996.

Unlike many vertically scrolling shooters where players can work cooperatively, Twinkle Star Sprites have players play competitively as they clear enemy waves and sending projectiles back and forth by chaining explosions from defeated enemies. The Sega Saturn version of Twinkle Star Sprites released in 1997 features a new anime-styled opening, a new playable character, full voice-acting, the original arcade version of Twinkle Star Sprites, and an extra "Fan Disc" containing various bonus material.
