Hi there. Hope you can help. Been searching for the title of this 'Shoot Em' Up' game for ages now.

The game is actually where the player uses a metal serpent kinda creature, scroll up/down/left/right to fight off waves of creatures and the 1st level Boss is a Mechanical Bull that can fly.

Any idea what is the name of the game?

thank you

Soundtrack was great, but the game was very difficult. The dragon sprite is huge, making the hitbox enormous. Very hard to dodge incoming fire.

@narox I actually researched it a bit, and the arcde version is available on PSone on the JP Namco Museum. I'm aiming for that one!

If shmups were beautiful women, I would marry them.

It is also on Japanese PS1 in Namco Museum Encore.
