Parsec is a side-scrolling shooter that optionally uses the Speech Synthesizer module.
+ Inability to constantly fire results in strategic gameplay, especially when trying not to overheat your lasers in higher levels.
+ The 5-second countdown while you attempt to survive an asteroid belt is both exhilarating and terrifying!
+ The Speech Synthesizer module adds a great deal of charm to the action and assists you with incoming enemy alerts.
+ Background stars and foreground scenery creates a cool faux parallax scrolling effect that's very visually appealing.
- Once the sections loop and you advance to the next level you've seen everything it has to offer in short order.
- Occasional issues with lasers shooting through enemy ships, and the controls don't quite offer precision movement.
