SAVE MANKIND FROM A DESTRUCTIVE SUPERCOMPUTER!
In the year 3300, a supercomputer was developed to help unify the countless human settlements that had spread across various systems. This machine was called GCS-WT and was unlike any other machine before. However, it quickly defected from its programming and began using its mechanical fleet to attack various homeworlds. Now it is up to the last two pilots aboard the Sol-Deace, developed by the recently murdered Edwin Deace, to fly deep into space and stop the machines once and for all. A port of the Mega-CD (SEGA-CD) launch game Sol-Feace, it brought a challenging shoot 'em up to the console. Never released in Europe, now is your chance to own this officially licensed re-release of this Wolf Team-developed classic! For each copy sold, Retro-Bit will make a donation to our friends at the Video Game History Foundation in our mutual efforts for game preservation.
Sol-Deace - Collector's Edition
In the third millennium, humans launched an advanced artificial intelligence that would unify all the settlements and states. Instead, the machine known as GCS-WT becomes a dictator and begins to suppress all of humanity under its control. It seeks to conquer entire worlds with its mechanical fleet across the Solar System. Edwin Deace, a brilliant scientist, looks to counter the A.I. by developing a revolutionary fighter spacecraft, the Sol-Deace. This interstellar war will take pilot Eric Williams through six stages, facing off against challenging scenarios and massive spacecraft with the fate of all mankind in the balance!
