        This is one tough game. I only managed to level 2 once, with a top score of 55010.

        It seems to be the 'Dragon Laser' is a much better smart bomb type weapon than the 'Particle Beam' - it stays on screen longer and does more damage. For the primary weapon I thought the 'S' power up gave a nice spread weapon and as most enemies can be destroyed with a single hit, it was better than the 'V' rapid fire single rocket primary weapon
        although I'm guessing it becomes more useful later on with tougher enemies.

        The idle demo seems to show a slave unit assisting the player, but I never got anywhere near obtaining that.

        I'll give it a few more plays but this is a tough one!

            @gtbfilms It isn't the fastest shooter :D
            Good to play if you consumed some drinks and your reaction time decreases.

                  @meleu I am going to have intermittent forum access this week, would you be able to run MAME ROW #60? If not, I will be updating at odd hours.

                        But I'm getting a server error from strawpoll.me... :(

                        Maybe I will try to find another web poll service later...

                          I was just trying a few games at random tonight and came across Gunbird 2 - it's quite similar to Lightning Fighters (bullet hell vertical shooter) but is better executed all round.

                          I'd never seen this (or the original Gunbird) before, I'm guessing perhaps they only appeared in Japan?

                          Anyway, for fans of these types of games, I recommend trying out Gunbird 2. Runs really nicely on a Rpi 3.
