When i was younger there was a place with two cabs, at the time of this game the other game was tiger road, so it was 87ish.
The shoot em was always popular, it was a vertical game, and although the screen was small, the sprites and the ship was small also.
The distinctive thing i remember about this game that it seemed to use the colours silver and gold.
Another thing was some of the enemies were balls and that had like tiny slots that would shot small bullets at you.
I don't think i would ever remember the name, but if you think you know what it might be please post and i'll check out KLOV or another site for screenshots.
Thank you
