Trying to find name of a game

Post by snakesnake »

Old shmup from the 80's I think it started off vertical and on other stages switched to horizontal if I remember correctly
I think I remember there to be a dark green colour theme but the arcade machine I played on screen was pretty busted (dark)

Alpha Mission seems pretty similar

Anyone familiar with it? The verticle/horizontal I thought would narrow it down

<S.Yagawa> I like the challenge of "doing the impossible" with older hardware, and pushing it as far as it can go.

Anything else you can remember would probably be helpful. Are we talking spaceships, planes, helicopters, how many players, bombs, what kind of shots, etc.
