Phelios

description Phelios Overview

Phelios is a vertically scrolling shooter released by Namco for arcades in 1988. The player controls Apollo riding the winged horse Pegasus through settings and encounters drawn from Greek mythology, fighting airborne enemies while attempting to rescue Artemis from Typhon. Its charged projectile attack and mythological presentation distinguish it from many military and science-fiction shooters of the period.
