God, I can't stand this game. A 2-ALL is not all that difficult, but you have to dole out your bombs carefully, dying before the last stretch of the final level in loop 2 is likewise completely out of the question. Not going to bother with that, however, it's just not fun having to hug the bottom of the screen most of the time and getting severely punished for minuscule "mistakes". I got a chuckle out of my heroic flapping after losing a life in 2-3/10, though, that's the main reason I uploaded the video.

If people were actually playing this game I'd recommend splitting the board for autofire/non-autofire. How fortuitous this is not the case!

Now that I got the nadir out of the way I probably clear the few Irem games I've yet to do. Would you like to create threads for Gallop, Thunder Blaster and Youjyuden, Despatche? You currently hold custody over most of their titles, are you interested in these, perchance?

Barely had enough resources to make it through the final stage, the final boss also just had to kill me once before he immediately died thereafter, the vengeful bastard.
