Einhänder
Einhänder (アインハンダー) is a scrolling shooter developed by Square for the PlayStation console. It was released in Japan on November 20, 1997 and in North America on May 5, 1998. It was also re-released for the Japanese PlayStation Network on June 25, 2008. The name Einhänder is German and denotes a type of sword that is wielded with one hand, here used to refer to the single manipulator arm possessed by the player's spacecraft.
The game is based on the story of Endymion and Selene and set in a fictional future during a war between the Earth and the Moon. The player is part of the Moon's forces and must invade enemy territories to gather reconnaissance and enemy weapons. The music of the game was composed in electro/techno style by Kenichiro Fukui and was published in Japan as a soundtrack album. The game received positive reviews from critics, who praised its gameplay and graphics, but felt the game's short duration and lack of two-player mode were minor flaws.
Gameplay
Einhänder is a shoot 'em up game of the scrolling shooter subgenre in the tradition of games like Gradius, in which the player controls a fighter spacecraft that must destroy enemy craft in side-scrolling levels. The game's graphics are in "2.5D"; that is in 3D with occasional shifting of camera angles, but with player's movement restricted to a two-dimensional plane. Pre-rendered full motion videos are used to illustrate pivotal scenes between stages.

Saddest Day
by: Wayne WonderThe saddest day of my life
The saddest day of my life
The saddest day of my life
The saddest day of my life
Is when she left me with a broken heart
I was feeling the pain, the pain, the pain
The saddest day in my life
Is when she left me with a broken heart
I was going insane, yes
Try to erase, all the memories
They're the ones they gon' see
If I could forget, all about the past
How long will this go on?
The saddest day in my life
Is when she left me with a broken heart
I was feeling the pain, the pain, the pain
The saddest day in my life
Is when she left me with a broken heart
I was going insane, I
I wish that my thoughts could rewind the hands of time
Then we would be so happy
What if my dreams never meant to be
Then I'd be living in misery, girl
The saddest day in my life
Is when she left me with a broken heart
I was feeling the pain, oh
The saddest day in my life
Is when she left me with a broken heart
I was going insane, I
Broken heart is hard to mend
I'll be your lover, I'll be your friend
To every start there is an end
I wanna be forever, baby
The saddest day in my life
Is when she left me with a broken heart
I was feeling the pain, oh baby
The saddest day in my life
Is when she left me with a broken heart
I was going insane, I
I know you erase all the memories
They're the ones they gon' see
If I could forget, all about the past
How long will this go on?
Yes, the saddest day is my life
Is when she left me with a broken heart
I was feeling the pain, oh baby
The saddest day in my life
Is when she left me with a broken heart
