In 1991, Taito released the second (since Alpha could be played on the Turbo Express) handheld Darius game, called Sagaia but populated by Darius bosses plus two new ones. The old bosses' attacks are slightly remixed as well. Not bad at all! Musically, the game borrows all its tunes from Darius and this is done quite nicely enough. In fact, it's largely a vague Darius port but with respawning when you die, and a power-up system that is faster than the original one. Scoring, though, is quite stingy.
