Classic Arcade Shooter Action
Works great, no fuss! Looks amazing and controls well, very fun! But even on the "easiest" setting, still impossibly difficult for me. This game was definitely made to be a coin-guzzler. I'm making liberal use of the quick saves, beofe and after each boss-battle. I can't believe one of the "achievements" is to beat the game on one credit!?

Solid, brutal, classic vertical shooter.
This is a solid port of a classic arcade shooter. The port features leaderboards and a few bells and whistles, including rewind features, a few dynamic and static borders, and a very good scanline implementation.
