Purevex (ピュアベックス) by Nec is a 1997, 3D, vertical, shoot'em up game made for Windows 95. It's one of (if not) the rarest Japanese only exclusive game made for the PowerVR pc graphic card chipset, it uses proprietary direct API called "PowerSGL" so it cannot be played with all cards.
Gameplay
The game engine and gameplay are similar to Xevious 3D/G with some elements of Gradius.

Some shopping sites like Suruga-Ya and Medio.bz have a page for the game, including front box scan, game price, release date, and product serial number, however, a used copy cannot be found to buy anywhere for a long time.
