Keeping the classics alive man, this is excellent and will throw you right back to mid 80's Amstrad CPC 464 days, i played a similar title Slamander back on that platform but this is the daddy.

Squirming in and out of bouncing aliens and fleets of rippling craft gets tougher as the levels proceed, its hard to believe sometimes the little ship will fit through that gap...!

The rolling weapon upgrades make the experience very fulfilling and pretty tough, there is a cool toggle button that lets you change between shiny smooth today graphics and the blockier old school look, neat.

Two modes, one giving unlimited lives and the other true coin op style only has 3. Hardened arcade freaks only for the true coin op version id say. This is afforable classic gaming, nice to throw on for a relaxing half an hour.
