''Axelay'' is a 2D Shoot 'em Up Video Game developed by Konami of Japan for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). It was launched in September 11 , 1992 in Japan and September 30 , 1993 in the USA.

The game story begins with a scene where Alien ships are invading Earth , and then destroyed it entirely, such that it falls to the Axelay ship to fight with the alien invaders. The game earned significant popularity for use of the SNES Mode 7 and Parallax effects in comparison to other games at the time. Such visual effects combined with what was then seen as an advanced selection of weapons available made Axelay into a popular shooter for the SNES console.

One of the developers of Axelay would leave Konami and helped founded Treasure video games.
