The Master System Power Strike II is a unique entry in the Aleste series where you play as a pilot trying to shoot down “Sky Pirates” over the skies of Italy and its surrounding area in an alternate universe version of the 1930s.
It was developed specifically for the European market, where the Master System was still an actively supported console at the time the game was released. Japan wouldn’t get the game until the Aleste Collection was released in 2020, over twenty five years later.
