The Story Behind Solar Eclipse
Here is where Solar Eclipse came from and how it reached the Sega Saturn.
Solar Eclipse was developed under the title Titan, but the American marketing team decided it would sell better if published as a sequel to the 1995 video game Total Eclipse, especially as the two featured similar gameplay and graphical style. In Japan and Europe, it was released as Titan Wars.
What You'll Play
Solar Eclipse is a retro game for 1 player, played full-speed in the free RetroPlayers.Club Player with its Controller Mapping panel.
Solar Eclipse is a hybrid of rail shooter and space combat simulation; the general direction of the ship's flight is locked in, but the player may maneuver a substantial area, and can at certain points choose from multiple routes.
Why It Still Hits
Solar Eclipse is a retro game that Sega Saturn players still load up; the reviews and rankings below say why.
GamePros Captain Squideo had a more mixed reaction, criticizing the partially on-rails flight and saying the landscapes and enemies become repetitious. The four reviewers of Electronic Gaming Monthly gave the Saturn version a 7.75 out of 10 average.
