Koutetsu Yousai Strahl (Steel Fortress Strahl) is a horizontal scrolling Shoot 'em up developed by UPL in 1992.
The game takes place in modern times where a great depression has swept over the world. Amidst the depression and its riots of jobless workers, a mad scientist started his plan of world domination. Taking command in the titular steel fortress orbiting Earth, the evil doctor Gegeben von Funkeln uses his own robots and mercenaries in a society called the "Eisern Geist" to wreak havoc across the globe until all his demands are met. Assisting the attacked and weakened governments, workers across the nations helped develop a series of bombers to use against the forces of Dr. Funkeln and save the world. However, after 3 months of the war, the Eisern Geist had destroyed all but one of the bombers. The remaining bomber continues the attack on the Eisern Geist and Strahl.

UPL is an underrated videogame company. They produced some very good games (mostly coin ops but also a few console exclusive titles) with cool characteristic graphics and creative gameplay. This one is no exception.

I don't think they made any really great games, but they made a lot of interesting ones. Being small and having to develop games for cheap underpowered arcade boards made it difficult for them to make an impact, sadly. I'll always have a soft spot for Atomic Robo-Kid though, even if it looks like a dustbin! 😆

This was one of the most mediocre shooters i've ever played.

O vídeo se torna um verdadeiro espetáculo quando vemos um gênio com maestria dominando nessas relíquias esquecidas. Parabéns pelos vídeos amigo.
