Last Resort is a side-scrolling arcade shoot-'em-up released for the Neo-Geo in 1992. The basic format of the game draws on other side-scrolling shoot-'em-ups, especially R-Type. In Last Resort, as in R-Type, you can upgrade your spaceship with a circling weapons pod that serves as both an extra weapon and a shield. Power-ups throughout the game can increase both your firepower and your speed. For an arcade game, Last Resort is relatively short, with only five stages.
