 
The
Axelay Ship: A high-class piece of
sprite-based precision engineering, and
no mistake (Nice paint-job eh?)
 Success in
Axelay is closely linked to your
choice of weapon with which to tackle the various
stages of the game. As you progress through the
six stages you will receive a greater selection
of weaponry, make sure you take the best
equipment for the job! You only have 3
slots which can take one weapon each,
and will lose a weapon if you are hit while using
it, so a balanced payload is essential to ensure
you have some alternative fire-power to
fall back on..
