AmigaOverview
Darius+ is a conversion of Taito's two-dimensional horizontally scrolling arcade shoot 'em up Darius for western homecomputers. It was developped by Softek International Ltd. and published by The Edge for Amiga, Atari ST and ZX Spectrum. A version for the Commodore 64 was probably planned but never released as mentioned on GTW 64!. A fanmade version for the Sharp X68000 (which only consists of ZoneA/Stage1 including a boss fight with King Fossil) is existing too.
While the original arcade cabinet has a game's screen that is three times wider than conventional size(by using three monitors - with the center monitor facing forward and the outer two pointing up) this port of the game was only designed for a single screen.
