description Novastorm Overview
Novastorm is a science-fiction rail shooter released in 1993 by the British game developer Psygnosis. The player controls a spacecraft and fires at enemies along a guided route, so the experience focuses on aiming, timing, and survival instead of unrestricted exploration. Its visual presentation places polygonal spacecraft over pre-rendered cinematic backgrounds, combining interactive shooting with rendered scene design. The game is associated with early 1990s space-combat and interactive-movie experiments.
