Vertical Force is a shooter video game released for the Nintendo Virtual Boy in 1995. Developed by Hudson Soft, the game is set in a future where players control a spaceship tasked with defending humanity from robotic enemies. Featuring vertical scrolling gameplay, players navigate their ship through various levels, dodging and destroying a variety of foes while collecting power-ups. As one of the few titles created for the Virtual Boy, Vertical Force stands out with its pseudo-3D effects and unique fixed shooter mechanics inspired by the console’s stereoscopic technology. The game was part of the small library for the Virtual Boy, which was known for its distinctive red and black graphics.
