Having already commented on what ports of Darius and Darius II were released for the Turbografx family of consoles, I won't repeat myself. So: Darius Plus was a good port of the arcade original, with somewhat gaudier colours (woe betide the gamer who sees Octopus or Fatty Glutton!) and several new bosses which were sometimes a definite step down from the originals in terms of difficulty. The smaller play area can make dodging harder.Darius Alpha was a boss rush version of Darius Plus and is so rare it's not funny. I saw one going for 730 dollars on eBay recently ...
