Space Firebird is a Nintendo developed arcade video game released in 1980 in both Japan and America. In America, the game was published by Sega-Gremlin, a company that went down under during the video game crash of the 80s.[1] You play the role of a ship that, while flying through space, accidentally awakens a swarm of enemy firebirds. You then take control of the ship and start to mow them down with your guns.
