Playing this game via Shmuparch was like re-experiencing it for the first time. R-Type Final may have been the first traditional shmup I played, but THIS is the one that got me hooked on the genre.

Even if you don't wanna mess around with Retroarch's fucking awful UI and rom scanning tools, I implore everyone to check out the Capcom Stadium version - minor lag notwithstanding. It's literally two fucking dollars.
