A Japanese shoot them up with Gamera the giant turtle kaiju. Original concept mixing shooter and Daiei monster cameos, decent gameplay, unique vibe. A curious gem for tokusatsu and atypical shmup fans on PS1.

Collector interest

Daiei shoot-em-up built around Gamera, a Japan-only release never localized. The mix of shmup and tokusatsu kaiju license stays a niche oddity, lightly pressed and seldom seen complete. Its standing rests on catalogue scarcity and the crossover crowd of shmup players plus tokusatsu fans, with sealed copies holding most of the value over a cheaper loose disc.
