Btw, since I'm playing the game on emulator anyway right now because my SFC is not set up (but I own the game, just saying), is there an emulator that allows you to disable the flicker (like NES emulation)? Because when I have all my options lined up horizontally, I can't even see my own ship. Kind of makes some situations a little harder ^^

IIRC it says "appellation", i.e. it's giving you the rank of "technical monkey".
Ah. Well it was in 1993 when I beat it, so I was not expecting to remember everything exactly right..
Did you already 1CC the game back then on arcade difficulty? I was not good at games back then. I loved Contra on the NES, but I made every mistake possible, and even Super Mario World took me months to finish.

Thank you so much for telling me! Things like this make me so happy.
For anybody wondering how to fix the extremely delayed audio - change latency to the lowest here: Spoiler

Yes, I did. I already had fallen in love with Vulcan Venture on arcades so when I got this I played it religiously.
Only truly nasty part near the end was when there were huge ships blocking narrow corridors. In arcade difficulty, shooting them only made them go still, their wreckages would not be removed, so you had to shoot them at the right time.
