[edit] Arcade
Some large scale arcades such as GameWorks had a version that used multiple monitors to present the game on an oversized screen.
[edit] PlayStation
On the PlayStation version of Star Blade, called Star Blade Alpha, players could chose from the arcade version of the game and an enhanced version. In the arcade mode, graphics are made of flat polygons and the playing screen contains little black bars on the left and right edge of the screen. For the enhanced mode, the games graphics are made up of fully textured polygons with a fullscreen view of the action. This option is also available on the 3DO port.
[edit] The Comeback?
In 2005, the game was shown in Tekken 5 during the opening loading screen, and as an unlockable classic game in the Arcade History section in the game.
[edit] Technical Info
The game runs on Namco System 21 hardware.
