Is Face's 1992 "Sand Scorpion" Jamma PCB a shmup?

Post by PC Engine Fan X! »

Here's an ebay auction for a rare Japanese Face Co. Ltd. produced 1992 arcade Jamma PCB "Sand Scorpion" that requires a Tate'd monitor to play:

It isn't my auction btw... ^_~

How is the gameplay on this particular PCB?

Thanks for your help & suggestions..... ^_~

It's an okay old-school shmup in the Twin Cobra & Raiden vein. Not as good as R Shark in my opinion.
