  • Won't be a while man. It sucks, I know, but consider that dozens of other people are in the same position as you. It's hard to please everyone.

  • my first sidescrolling shooter those where tha days where blood and boobs didnt mean a great game

  • I'm so glad you used the arcade version. Most people are more familiar with the NES version, which is a pretty great port, but some things are just not right with the music if you're used to the arcade. It would have been better if you used the "warming up" music that plays right after you turn it on. It's no wonder bubble memory didn't last, but at least they were nice enough to play you a song while you wait.

  • @AutobotsG1 The hittable portion of the ship and ship's sprite are not the same so sometimes it seems the enemy shots just miraculously pass through. Or maybe the pilot is just that fucking sick. Hope that helps.

  • anyone got the name for the song at 0:38?

  • How did you not die at 1:16 thats some shenanigans going on right there.

  • It's worth noting that this game's soundtrack was composed by Miki Higashino when she was only 16-17 years old.

  • 2 people died 800 times in the first three stages.

    And so did 51 others, I suppose...

  • 3:01

    Epic!!! Totally loving this one. While other games have these nasty scary sounding last stage music, this one keeps you going on!

  • i like the third music, wat is it? o yeah the boss battle music

  • 2:31 OH SHIT VOLCANOES!

  • NEMESIS BABY!!!!!!!
