I like blowing stuff up. Also, I grew up playing Star Force/1942/Flying Shark/Twin Cobra in arcades on holiday. So I'm quite keen to pick up on similar stuff to those which I missed at the time.

Because that's where I posted it.

There are also currently other threads open in shmup chat in which to insult me, I didn't think it needed another one.
