Looks sorta like a smash-up of V-Five and Truxton (for the bombs - maybe it has elements of something else?)

I don't recognize the bosses...

Another great find UD. I wonder if anyone has documented all the shooters on the X6800 platform?

It's actually pretty good. Not the best on the X68k, but pretty good. Also quite fast if I remember correctly.

Concerning a list of X68k shmups...I've been trying to track down many of them. The real trick begins when you get into doujin shmups....absolutely zillions of 'em.

It's very similar to Super Star Soldier. Funny I was just playing this last week on the ol' XVI...

Is that you, Shou, the original Shousama?

Yeah, there've been a few "shou" something'er others floating around. One of them is a real turkey [har har].

So what you been up to, man? I miss people that actually know what they are talking about :D

I sold my old collection off and pretty much retired from gaming for years. I just started buying back some stuff last year and have been dabbling quite a bit in JP retro PCs (the final frontier for me); PC-88, PC-98, X68000, MSX, FM Towns and early Windows stuff. You'd never believe the reaction I get from the Japanese when I sell some of my excess PC games or talk about system hacks....

I do keep a gaming screenshot chronicle blog which is updated whenever I get around to playing something.

That looks superb UD. I really need to get moving towards Shou's 'final frontier', as all the X68000 stuff that has tended to surface here rather frequently recently looks really enticing...

Holy crap. I think I remember. Didn't you set up a humongous mega auction on Ebay, featuring every system known to man and their games?
Don't hold grudges. GET EVEN.

It's taking a long time though. On this guy's lists, the shooting games are inidcated by STG if you want to have a look.
I have quite a few X68000 games - if you want any information about the actual things I'd be happy to send in some scans or whatever.

I know I tried working on a list for Digital Press years ago but something or other happened and it was like "ok lol nevermind."
