I've heard of this peculiar shmup title before but it was released on the Neo-Geo CD platform only. There exists a single prototype Neo-Geo MVS cart of Ironclad.

Old news. Anyway, I played the JP VC version, and I think it's a clunky mess. I have no idea why people try hunting for AES carts of this game, I think it must be more to do with the whole collector's side of things. Gameplay wise, the ships felt slow (even the fastest ship) and pretty underpowered. Level design was good, it made me thought that if Policenauts ever had a shmup it would be something along these lines. The VC price still beats paying $400+ for it or whatever.
