About this game
In the Delta region of space, the remnants of a long forgotten war remain - far beyond what those in the Terran system were used to.
This technology is potentially valuable, but retrieving it from the 8 sectors will involve a lot of blasting and dodging.

Armalyte is a left-to-right horizontally-scrolling shooter and was marketed as the sequel to Delta , even though that one was done by different developers.
Extra weapons are gained by shooting crystals and then collecting the resultant pod.
Weapons on offer including lasers firing vertically and outwardly, as well as faster weaponry recharging.
Weapons upgrades are not lost when dying, but they are taken away at the start of a new level, except for the batteries and the generators that are reduced one level above the initial one, if applicable.
There are eight levels and a boss at the end of each one, with smaller bosses in the mid sections.
Some parts of the scenery can also be lethal to the ship.
The craft is accompanied by a computer-controlled drone with the same capabilities and in the two-player mode it is replaced by a regular ship.
The later PC version is done by a different team but officially approved by the owners of the IP.
It has the same gameplay, but updated graphics, animation, music and sound effects.
About PC
PC gaming spans over four decades, from early DOS titles to today's massive Steam and digital-storefront libraries. Because "PC" covers everything from 1990s CD-ROM releases to current AAA titles, it's the single largest platform by game count on Gamevaro. For collectors, PC gaming splits into two very different worlds: physical big-box releases from the 1990s and 2000s (increasingly collectible, especially complete-in-box with original manuals and inserts) and the modern digital library, which Gamevaro tracks for portfolio and spending purposes even though it has no resale market.
Gamevaro tracks Armalyte for PC with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
