Override is a vertically scrolling shoot-em-up for the TurboGrafx-16. You steer a spacecraft through enemy formations, collecting weapon upgrades while dodging incoming fire. Its charging system gives you a reason to release the fire button: a brief pause prepares a stronger attack that can clear a threatening group.

Gameplay
The stage continually scrolls upward, bringing new enemies and obstacles into view. Regular fire handles the immediate opposition, while stopping your shots allows the ship to build its charged attack. Choosing when to stop firing creates a tradeoff between steady coverage and a more powerful burst. Collectible P items strengthen the primary weapon, helping you keep pace as the screen becomes busier. Colored gems provide secondary weapons, with the gem’s color at pickup determining the equipment you receive. Collecting the same color again increases that secondary weapon’s power. This makes the moment of collection important, especially when a useful gem is drifting near enemy fire. Larger enemies and bosses require you to watch attack patterns while keeping your weapons on target. Positioning remains central even with stronger equipment, since a crowded screen can close off an escape route quickly. The combination of color-based weapons and charging adds a clear tactical choice to the constant movement.
