-Soldier Force (ソルジャーフォース) is a PC game developed and released by Studio Siesta which is a tribute to games like Star Soldier and other similar Caravan games.  The game is largely structured around the mechanics of Star Soldier, even bringing back the Trap Zone mechanic which lets players fly under structures to avoid enemy fire while invincible at the cost of being unable to fire while hiding.  The game features a modern re-imagining of the 16 stages of Star Soldier plus 16 additional stages inspired by other games in the franchise.  It is most notable for the number of musical remixes featured from multiple games such as Star Force, Star Soldier, Super Star Soldier, Final Soldier, and Soldier Blade.

 '''Cleopatra:'''
 This item only appears once in stage 16 and can be shot for 2 MILLION points. Closer to the end of the stage, you will see one stray Delilah eyeball center screen, on the following ground platform the Cleopatra is hidden in the upper left most light green box that can be hit right before the Treaudo bonus lanes at the end of the stage.

 *Clearing normal mode/the first 16 stages of the game will give you access to Nightmare Mode, and finishing stage 32 in either mode will unlock the Secret Weapon Start option in set-up.
 *There are also several cheat codes you can input with a keyboard to enable various unlocks and cheats.  Type out these codes without holding multiple keys and you should hear a chime upon successful activation.  Playing with a cheat enabled will save any scores made, but will not properly save any replays.

 Soldier Force is a 4 button game, but only one of the four ships uses the 4th button.

 == Version Differences ==
 * 1.00: Initial Release, no Caravan Mode and Caesar and Noah only as playable characters.
 * 1.11: Caravan Mode added
 * 1.20: Final Star SS and Golden Humming added as new playable characters.
 == Trivia ==
 * While Soldier Force takes heavy inspiration from Hudson Soft's Star Soldier game, Hudson Soft actually had no involvement with the creation of this game and was likely responsible for the game's mysterious disappearance shortly after launch.
 * The game does not know how to properly handle boss timeouts in the Nightmare stages.  The further a player gets, the more frequently B checkpoints start calling back to incorrect stage numbers.  (i.e. Stage 32 boss timeout will show "Stage 16-B Start" when the checkpoint loads)
