Cowboy Bebop (PlayStation game)

Cowboy Bebop is a PlayStation game by Bandai based on the anime of the same name.

The game was never released outside Japan.

Gameplay
Cowboy Bebop is a scrolling shooter which bears striking similarities to Star Fox for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (Super Famicom). The player controls Spike Spiegel's Swordfish II from a third person perspective. Each level involves chasing another ship (the bounty head) along a set track through different environments, while enemies (spaceships, robots, etc.) attack. Each stage ends with a boss battle, confronting your target.

Between stages, bonus points earned can be spent to purchase upgrades for the ship (faster speed, more powerful ammo, stronger laser).

Cast
In the same way that characters interacted with the player in Star Fox, series regulars Jet Black, Faye Valentine, and Radical Edward appear on screen to offer advice. Each character is voiced by their original Japanese voice actor.
