I've said before R-Type Final was my first introduction to shmups. What was my second? This. Played it on a fucking hideous plug-n-play with a bunch of weird Master System and Game Gear shit. Never was my thing in the past, and could never get 20 seconds in before dying, but my brother loved it. Coming back to it now, it's eh. It's that specific Master System brand of 'extremely basic and inoffensive'. A sludge smorgasbord of Aleste, 1942, Astro Warrior and Flying Shark with a safer difficulty curve but nothing to really set it apart. Definitely a 'play until you get bored' kinda game.
