Terra Cresta is a 1985 vertically scrolling shooter video game developed and published by Nichibutsu for arcades. The player controls a flying craft to destroy the Mandler army before they destroy all of humanity. Gameplay involves shooting enemies and collecting different ship parts that each provide their own unique weapon, such as a wave gun or a double shot. It is the sequel to the 1980 fixed shooter Moon Cresta, Nichibutsu's first big hit in arcades, and the second installment of the Cresta series.
