help needed trying to find the name of a coin-op from my youth

Post by pweasel »

Hey all!! Long time listener first time poster here ;)

I'm trying to find the name of a coin-op shmup that I used to play when I was a wee lad (before 1995).
It had the particularity that after finishing the stage, the orientation turns sideways (like on R-Type) and you had to land the ship in a specific strip of terrain, following an overlaid descending parabola. in this mini-stage you control throttle and vertical speed. you get bonus/resupplies for landing correctly.

Any help unclogging this aneurysm from my brain will be highly appreciated.
