Was Omega Fighter arcade only? I've never heard of the game before.
Macaw replied;
Yes it was.
And its the Ketsui of the 80's.
Exactly. Vertical Proximity scoring system.
2 loops. Good music.
Shame I didn't write down my score at the time. Still...I may play it again for old times sake .
Ketsui of the 80ies? Or is Ketsui the Omega Fighter of the 90ies?
Seriously, it´s interesting how deep certain ideas in shmups are rooted within its history. Even if you look at the most modern Cave games, you still can find little touches from very old games (the little robotic arms coming out of bosses in Muchi Muchi Pork date back till Recca, for instance, same as little enemies spewing streams of rockets straight down).
