Rayxanber (FM Towns Marty)

Follow through the first several minutes of Rayxanber for the FM Towns and FM Towns Marty. Rayxanber is the first in a trilogy of tough-as-nails horizontal shmups, the latter two having been released for the PC Engine.

Personally, I'm usually not a huge fan of memorization-style shmups like Rayxanber, but there is something to be said about how cool a tough game like this will look to others once you've got it down pat. This is my third time playing the game and actually the first time I'd made it to the second stage. Therefore, I edited out a quick death at the beginning of stage 2 that served no other purpose than to show how an enemy needed to be dispatched.

This was recorded on a Marty 2 console, so yes, it works both on the Marty and the FM Towns computer.

@MattTheSpratt No. Data West was a separate company. They are not allied with Data East in any way.

The music from the first stage is remixed for one of the Rayxanber games on the PC Engine. Can't remember if it's 2 or 3 though. Great music.
