It's obviously some kind of Darius ripoff, but it looks nice.

I'm gonna try to hunt this one down.

I can't speak to the X68000 version, but I have played a PC version. It's pretty lame; basically a ripped off Darius boss rush. It's probably not worth your time.

It's doujin. You'll find that the same company made a plethora of PC and X68K knockoffs such as "Potton", a clone of Cotton.

Also, there was a Darius game on the X68K that was only a boss rush. They probably took the rom and tweaked it.

I know that, I believe the game was Xadlak, had a x68k and PC version and both were very different from each other.

Although doujin, Sprite have made a few good games. Cha Cha Cha (alot like Cotton) and Zugya (a Bosconian multi-directional type shmup) come to mind.
