Game of the Day - Blazeon (Blaze On?)

Different references on the web refer to this game with and without the space between Blaze & On.  Who knows?  I do know that it is a good time.  Blazeon is a standard fare horz shooter with just a slight (but nice) addition.  You have two buttons, shot & missile.  If you hit certain (bigger) enemies with the missile, they die and become an outline of their shape.  Then, if you fly into that outline, you become the shape and power of that enemy.

Other than that trick, the game is very simple.  No charge shot, but there are nice power-ups.  Mostly the game is fun (like many of this genre) because the enemies, graphics and action are well programmed and well balanced.  Bosses are fun, too.

Not a lot new in this game, but if you like this genre and are sick of the more popular games, you'll have fun playing Blazeon.
