About this game

BioMetal is a single-player horizontally scrolling shooter released on June 1, 1993, for the Super NES. The game features six different weapons to combat the BioMetals, an extraterrestrial race determined to destroy the human race. The gameplay is very similar to that of the R-Type series, with the final boss even greatly resembling and behaving similarly to that series' iconic boss enemy Dobkeratops. It was developed by Athena and published in Europe by Activision; it reached the European market in 1993; the cartridge carries the Nintendo region code SNSP-BV-UKV.
