Alpha Roid is a horizontal shoot 'em up published by Pony Canyon in 1986 for MSX, playable solo or in two-player mode, part of the wave of home-grown shooters that flourished in the machine's Japanese catalog in the mid-'80s. It reached Europe the following year renamed Alphroid by Eaglesoft. It's not a title that left a mark outside collector circles, but it documents well the variety of the MSX catalog of the time.
