A surprising Namco shooter, blending isometric 3D vertical sections with classic stages. Original yet short, a pleasant curio in the shmup library.

Collector interest

A Mega Drive conversion of Namco's arcade rail shooter, released in Europe in 1990 among the console's earliest PAL titles, when the install base was still small. Namco's presence on Mega Drive stays uncommon, as the publisher made little for the system. Desirability blends that publisher rarity with its pioneer slot in the European catalog, rather than a masterpiece reputation.
