It's the original JP/EU title for ALCON. Older Toaplan shmup with Gradius style life bar.

I thought it looked like Rayforce. Here's an interesting one to pass the time.

Here's a hint: It's an early 90's arcade vert shooter.

I guess no one is going to guess it. It's Pollux.

Now you post a new one then, right?

corbie · Post by **corbie** » Mon Mar 30, 2009 1:59 am

Here's a new one. I think this one will be quite a bit easier. I just popped this pcb into my Egret II last night and I'm loving every second of it.

And thanks to those who recommended it to me.

ESP2?

We have a winner! It's Espgaluda 2. I've been playing it off and on all night.

Great game. I hope I will own the PCB too one time

I don't have a picture at hand now so the next one is:

Can anyone guess from which game my avatar is?

I think this is the first fail of this thread, well done

I thought it was almost impossibile here.

Rendering Ranger?

Right!

Did you know it or was it just a guess?

The picture is from a beta version of Rendering Ranger where the main character looks like this. In the retail version he wears a helmet.

I thought Run 'n' Guns are ok too ?
But anyway 6 out of 10 stages are shmup-stages in this game.

Ah, I was wondering if the sprite had been altered. I was pretty sure about it from the unique looking weapon and the colors on his costume.

Pretty easy:

Tyrian

Yep. I always liked the Carrot Ship + Banana Blast combo.

(Still amazes me how much they managed to cram into that little shareware game.)

I don't think it was originally shareware. I used to play the demo a lot ages ago.
