'''Purevex''' (ピュアベックス) by Nec is a 1997 Windows95 3D vertical shoot'em up.  It's one of (if not) the rarest japanese only exclusive made for PowerVR pc graphic card chipset, it uses proprietary direct API called "PowerSGL", so it cannot be played with all cards.

==Gameplay==
Game engine and gameplay reminds very much of Xevious 3D/G with some elements of Gradius.

==Availability==
Infos and images about PC version are near to zero. Only few niche-forum activists claim to own a copy of the full cdrom and some youtube videos showing the full version appear and disappear sometimes.

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.
