A Famicom port of Sega's pseudo-3D rail shooter, handed to Takara in 1989. The curiosity lies in the paradox of a showcase title for Sega hardware brought onto the console of its direct rival, with the technical compromises that entails. For collectors, the appeal rests on a Japanese third party's conversion of an arcade classic rather than the merits of this version.
