Psychic 5 is an action game released back in 1987 by Jaleco for the arcade.
The game is about 5 brave Espers trying to defeat Zara the witch and Satan the devil in various locations (scenes). The game has the interesting element in that, while in most action games back then, the player character is a hopeless victim of gravity, in this game the Espers have the ability to hover in mid-air. (This concept has been inherited from Bomb Jack.) This not only allows them to stay in place for a while, but also they can move around horizontally while hovering. Hovering is an exceptionally powerful ability in the hands of experienced Psychic 5 players.
The game also has a very detailed scoring system. The stages are littered with secrets and bonuses, and there are also bonuses to reward skillful play.

You may find some of the ideas in these pages to be rather subjective. Do feel free to try to improve my strategies or develop your own; after all, that's what game playing should be about. ^_^ If you find some strategies that work especially well, please tell me about them.
