Trying to remember old shmup name

[Smamoh]

Hi everyone,

There's a shmup i used to play in the mid-90s, and have been trying to find this game for almost 2 decades now!

Here are some of the details i remember about the game:

- Vertical
- Pretty sure it was DOS
- There were 4 different coloured ships you could start with: Red, Purple, Blue and i think green
- Space-y themed, if i remember correctly

Ive been trying to remember for so long, its driving me nuts.

Would be amazing if anyone has any idea which game this was!

Seriously, that could be pretty much anything

Troll thread or not, I'm having a slow night, so found a list of every vertical SHMUP arcade game in MAME right now. So work your way through this.

This is way too vague. When you're trying to get help remembering a game, it helps to name as many specific details you can remember as possible. Try to remember something distinct about the game that'd make it easy to distinguish such as ship or interface details.

• What colour was the title screen?
• Was it a multiplayer game?
• What style was the music?
• What weapons were in the game?
• Did it have life bars, lives?
• How many levels?
• Did it have bombs? If so, were they delayed like Raiden, instant?
• Do you remember any details about the levels or enemies?
• What kind of controller did you play it with?

I can think of a few vertical MS-DOS shmups that are space themed like Tyrian 2000, Raptor, OverKill, even Flying Tigers maybe, but I can't think of any with brightly contrasting selectable ships.
