Battle-Girl is an arcade-style top-down shooter using vector graphics. It was released by shareware developer Ultra/United Games for Mac OS in September 1997, Microsoft Windows in 1998, and by Feral Interactive for Mac OS in 1999.
Story
The player controls Battle-Girl, piloting her Soyuz 1183-A BattleCraft and destroying programmers released by Terminus, weapon of Chaos. The player must journey through countless programs and protect their function pods to defeat Terminus and save the Great Machine.
Reception
Next Generation reviewed the Macintosh version of the game, rating it four stars out of five, and stated that "In a world where games like Tomb Raider or Mario 64 may take hours to finish even a single level, it's good to see titles like Battle-Girl keeping the hoary excuse 'videogames improve hand-eye coordination,' a believable one."[1]
