Time-traveling battleships and an epic fight against history-altering invaders!

In the vast expanse of the Bermuda Triangle, a top-secret mission called SYD was underway. It was an ambitious endeavor to protect our world from an impending invasion. However, little did the team know that their success would come at a cost—the invaders would retaliate by traveling back in time to rewrite history!

To counter this unprecedented threat, the team had developed six experimental space-time battleships known as ZIG. Armed with advanced weaponry and time-travel capabilities, these peculiar ships were humanity's last hope. But just as they were about to take off, disaster struck. En route to their mission, the ZIG battleships were ambushed by the very invaders they were meant to defeat.

Now trapped in the past, the heroes of the ZIG battleships had no way to return to their time. With the present under attack and history in imminent danger, they had to dig deep and muster all their wit and courage to confront the invaders and set things right.

Bermuda Triangle, the mind-boggling scrolling shooter brought to you by the same talented team behind Ikari Warriors, puts players in control of the ZIG battleships. The goal? Survive the nine perilous levels, which not only scroll up and down but also throw unexpected obstacles in your path. And of course, it wouldn't be an epic adventure without jaw-dropping boss battles that will challenge your skills and leave you wanting more!

What sets Bermuda Triangle apart from other shooters is the sheer size and resilience of the ZIG battleships. These bad boys can take quite a beating before succumbing to enemy fire. With its arsenal of weapons, including a straight-ahead shot and a rotating turret capable of shooting in eight different directions, the ZIG battleships are a force to be reckoned with. Prepare to rain down a hailstorm of destruction upon your enemies!

But fear not, intrepid space-time warriors! Along your perilous journey, you'll encounter the resilient SYD ships. These brave little ships will fly alongside the ZIG battleships in four different formations, providing valuable support. Not only can they shield you from enemy projectiles, but they can also dish out some serious damage. However, beware, for they too are vulnerable. A single hit from an enemy ship and they'll be wiped out.

To aid you in your mission, power-ups and energy can be collected during each level. Energy pickups are a game-changer. Not only do they (quite literally) heal the ZIG battleships, but when at full health, they unleash a power boost that will leave your enemies quivering in fear. So keep your eyes peeled and grab those power-ups whenever you can!

Whether you're playing the original arcade version or the thrilling PlayStation port, Bermuda Triangle offers incredible gameplay and heart-pounding action. While the arcade version relied on a rotary joystick to control the turret, the PlayStation port cunningly shifted the turret controls to the shoulder buttons. Talk about innovation!

So, gear up and get ready for a wild ride through time and space in Bermuda Triangle. Unleash your inner hero and be a part of this hilarious and action-packed adventure. Remember, it's not just our present at stake—it's the course of history itself!

Join the ZIG battleships today and let's rewrite history in the most epic and absurd way possible!
