Solar Assault is a 3D shooter arcade videogame released by Konami in 1997, a sort of Gradius Nemesis in 3D running on the same hardware of GTI Club.

"Solar Assault" Hardware specs:
CPU: IBM PowerPC "403GA" 32-bit RISC @ 32MHz
DSP: ADSP-21062 @ 36MHz
Sound CPU: Motorola "68000" @ 16MHz
Sound chip: Ricoh "RF5C400" PCM stereo

The game is almost playable on MAME 0.127u1 version with some graphics glitches, sound problem, and running at 50-60% of full speed ingame on my Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 @ default clock 2,66 GHz.

Very poor emulation. They real game is much smoother and faster.

@GenyaArikado Virtua Racing is emulated quite well.

Looks like a Slave I at 0:34.

Mame isn't made for 3-D games

3d gradius? Blasphemy! Not as bad as I imagined though. Never heard of the "Alpina" before, so it must be exclusive to solar assault only.

Wow, the Vic Viper makes an appearance......one of the opposing ships in the intro looked like the friggin Slave 1.

But yeah, this is a 3D Gradius alright.......intrigues me.
