      Starship Hector is a deliberately old-fashioned shooter (even for its time) designed for core shooter fans and geared towards gathering high scores. To this end, it has a couple of alternative timed challenges to the main campaign mode that players can try to practice getting high scores. The game was used in Hudson's Caravan competition, which traveled across Japan collecting high scores from competitors for a country-wide contest. Subsequent Caravan games would be released on PC Engine. Starship Hector would later appear in the Super Famicom's Caravan Shooting Collection with its two NES predecessors Star Force and Star Soldier. A GBA compilation, Hudson Best Collection Vol. 5: Shooting Collection, also features the same three games.
