ABOUT THIS GAME
FROM BEYOND: Arcade Edition is a full-length rock album you can play. The music isn't just the soundtrack, it鈥檚 the entire saga.
Halloween night, 1986. Listeners of local heavy metal station 96.6 The Lazer begin reporting mysterious lights in the sky. DJ Nasty Nick Nash unknowingly narrates the last broadcast on Earth. Tune in as the new BCVHS album soundtracks an alien invasion... FROM BEYOND!

Unique Dynamic Levels: Every song features distinct enemy types, custom formations, and shifting color palettes that adapt directly to the music.
