Need to know the name of a shmup!

Post by DantesInferno »

Ok, this has been driving me nuts all day. It would have been around 1986-7..and I remember playing this vertical shooter in our arcade. I remember that you were flying around on star wars-esque speeder bikes and your bike could be switched or upgraded to new bikes with different weapons...I think anyway. I could be incorrect all the way around, but this seems to stick out in my mind. Any ideas? I spent an hour digging around mame trying to find it...to no avail.

A really underrated shmup, BTW. I wonder why there's not much mention of it here?
