Play Verytex (Japan) Online
Dodging bullets through neon cityscapes in a chunky Genesis sprite fighter—your ship feels heavy but precise, and that first screen-filling boss makes you sweat just enough.
Game Overview
Verytex is one of those hidden-gem shooters that never made it outside Japan, which is a shame because it’s got this weird, slick charm to it. You’re piloting a futuristic fighter trying to save humanity—pretty standard setup, but the way it plays feels surprisingly tight. The first stage throws you into neon-lit cityscapes with these chunky, detailed sprites, and the music has that classic Genesis synth punch.
What I like is how your ship handles—it’s weighty but responsive, and the power-up system lets you tweak your weapons on the fly. The first boss is this massive mechanical… thing that fills half the screen, and dodging its attacks while squeezing in shots feels great. It’s not brutally hard, but it’s not a pushover either. If you dig old-school shmups, this one’s worth tracking down.
