Really enjoyable game, was surprised by how much I liked it! Too bad MAME produces a graphical glitch after you kill the fifth boss; it can be diminished, but not entirely avoided as far as I know. Played the Japanese version in case it matters.
There is a good chance I might get back to this game, I played it safe and used bombs during boss fights without replenishing them all the way before proceeding to the next stage, I also didn't get the auxiliary helicopter in the first stage and thus missed out on easy 50,000 points. Looks like you might reap 100,000 points per life at the end of the game, I gained 400,000 points and had four lives left, don't know if that's a coincidence.
