Super Nintendo cartridge for "BioMetal" by Activision. The standard grey SNES cart features intense sci-fi artwork. A heavily armed spacecraft battles a massive alien bio-mechanical creature with segmented armor, tentacles, and organic textures in deep space. "BIOMETAL" in large bold metallic text. Activision publisher logo on the right. Licensed by Nintendo. Made in Japan.BioMetal (1993) by Activision was a horizontal scrolling shoot-'em-up with a unique twist. The player's ship had a regenerating energy shield called the GAM (Gel Analog Mutant) that could be deployed as a rotating barrier around the ship, absorbing enemy fire and damaging enemies on contact. Developed by Athena in Japan, the game featured a soundtrack by techno group 2 Unlimited in the Western release. Their track "Get Ready for This" playing during gameplay was a wild choice for a space shooter. The bio-mechanical enemy designs gave the game an Aliens/H.R. Giger vibe that set it apart from other SNES shmups. BioMetal is an underappreciated entry in the SNES shooter library. Techno beats and alien meat.Super Nintendo cartridge, loose. Pre-owned.
