Hardcore gamming 101 - "Sylphia is a far cry from the flying spaceships and mecha of Compile’s other titles. Taking place in a world inspired by Greek mythology, the introduction shows a young woman’s final stand against a horde of invading monsters. Her name is Silphia (yes, different from the title). As she lays dying, a force resurrects her as a fairy, giving her a second chance against the forces of evil.".

this machine was definitely ahead of its time
Bosses (ones I'm certain I have the exact names of from the instruction manual have an asterisk after them):
4:05 Asterion (I wouldn't be surprised if he's just called Minotaurus in Compile and Tonkin House internal documentation, though)
5:48 Medousa*
9:17 Hekatoncheires (certainly enough faces for the idea)
12:30 Talos*
15:48 Ketos
18:10 Skylla*
23:19 Hydra*
28:16 Gryps (well, the manual uses the katakana for "Gryphon", but it was known in Greece as a gryps. Greek setting, so...)
32:13 Phalanx (Arachne's brother from the original, pre-Ovid version of her myth. Or maybe those falling rocks should suggest something once sealed in the ground. Not a Titan, obviously, nor the Lernaean Hydra's immortal central head. Keep in mind that you're in Hades's mines in this stage.)
35:25 Chimaira (she's supposed to breathe fire, though, not bugs. Just her corpse puppeteered by Arachne??? The term is, humorously enough, just Greek for a female goat, so the main head should be the GOAT head, not the lion head)
39:30 Arachne
42:48 Charon* (where did he get the manticores?!)
44:27 Sphinx (although phase 2 suggests another puppeteered corpse. By the Big Bad this time? I really don't know what to make of those fins on her back, in any case.)
48:48 Kerberos*
52:05 Hades* (and that mask from the introduction has clearly done a number on him)
53:44 Achlys (a primordial kakodaimon who governed the "death mist"--the dulling/blanking of eyes just before death. Fits both how Hades was corrupted, and how the actual villain asserts dominance over poor Hades's soul. As Caligo, some Roman sources made her older than Nyx, perhaps even CHAOS. I'm also open to the protogenos Tartaros for whom this is.)
Phalanx is Argus because of all the eyes on it.
@@IanMasse I'd expect a human or even a peacock for Argos, not an arachnid...
This game is so good
Awesome!
If there's another Telenet Shooting Collection Sylphia Spriggan Sapphire and Nexzr need to be on there
Sylphia is Compile/Tonkinhouse, though, not Telenet.
@@SkyknightMu yeah i forgot Compile made that I'm still hopeful about the others Spriggan Nexzr and Sapphire are so awesome and Compile has never made a bad game
How it possible???
