How's the gameplay of Mitchell's 1993 Double Wings PCB?

[PC Engine Fan X!]

Mitchell produced this arcade shmup PCB by the name of "Double Wings" that has a copyright date listed as 1993. For our arcade shmup hobbyists who do own such a rare PCB of this particular title, how are the gameplay & game mechanics of Double Wings PCB?

I realize that it is still unplayable in Mame emulation to this very day...will it ever be decrypted?

And is this Banpresto's 'Kisou Senshi Gundam Final Shooting' PCB (listed in the link below) another arcade PCB shmup title or what?

From the looks of it. it's a Raiden clone. Even the title screen looks simliar.

Also, Final Shooting is a gun game, not a shmup.

For mainpatr1,

Thanks for the 411 on both arcade PCBs titles...very interesting light-gun using the Gundam franchise, hmmm? ^_~

But didn't Banpresto release such a Super Deformer Gundam based arcade shmup PCB for the Japanese arcade market, right? (I forget the name of it...please refresh my memory.) ^_~

And so is this Double Wings PCB possibly be using another PCB manufacturer's IP arcade board set to run properly (i.e. -- Seibu Kaihatsu based architecture then)? Mitchell was known for developing their own properitity arcade PCBs, right (as they did publish arcade PCBs for some of the smaller Japanese arcade developers back in the mid-1980s)?

I think Pang! was dedicated, the rest of them I think were Capcom HW, Osman was Data East HW, and their underwater puzzler looks like it's running on ZN-1 or 2.

I'm pretty sure I played it in a bar in Ibiza in 1997. Plus it was in the London arcades briefly. My mate KAC says that we both 1CC'd it at the time (1993), although I'm not sure....?
