At first I believed that the game is not finished as I played and played and there was no end of level so I started to fear that the first level is looped forever. But it has 3 distinct levels , just quite long, as well as final bosses.
As I said the quality seems really good for a MIA to me. I treat MIAs with different scale than big hits. If a game is MIA then it probably sold very badly in only few copies. And if it sold badly then it was probably nothing special. So this game is a nice surprise.

If it did sell badly I wouldn't be surprised. It's a very nice game but it was released in 1991, covering ground that Darius+ and Dominator did better a few years before.
Still a very cool thing to appear in 2018

I´m not much of a shooter, but I really liked this game. Here goes the review, and kudos for Michael for recovering the game and the sleeve...
