Omega Boost (オメガブースト, Omega Būsuto) is a 3D shoot 'em up video game co-developed by Polyphony Digital and Cyberhead and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation. It was released in Japan on April 22, 1999, and then on September 14, 1999, in North America and Europe.
The game features mecha designs by Shoji Kawamori of Macross fame. The game was criticized by some reviewers for being too short (nine levels with an equal amount of unlockable special missions) and simplistic.
Omega Boost is currently the only non-racing game developed by Polyphony Digital, whose works comprise almost solely of racing simulators.
