Uchuu Senkan Gomora adapts the Japanese sci-fi manga to Mega Drive with its spaceship facing galactic invaders. The manga faithful art direction appeals to fans in a classic horizontal shoot. Without a western release, for nippophile sci-fi and 16 bit shmup fans.

Horizontal shooter from UPL exclusive to Japan, released in late 1994 as the Japanese Mega Drive was winding down, hence a tiny print run. This twilight release from a respected shooter house makes it one of the priciest Japanese cartridges in the genre, even loose. Hunters of late, obscure 16-bit shmups place it among their top targets.
