Branching routes and striking music make each flight about choosing your path as well as finding gaps in the gunfire. Representative games: Darius (1987): Spreads its shooting stages across a panoramic three-screen arcade cabinet. Darius II (1989): Lets you turn your ship around during boss battles. G-Darius (1997): Uses capture balls to turn enemy craft into fighting companions. Suitable for: For players who enjoy learning attack patterns, picking routes and improving a run through practice. The unusual bosses and music give you plenty to appreciate between close calls.
