Had to use an emulator to play this.

Unlike those other idiots who review games here based on nostalgia without buying the actual game on GOG.com to see if the actual product works or not, I'll say right now that due to the speed of the latest computers, the emulated version speeds up really fast unless you have a computer with a slower processor speed. I had to use a third-party emulator for the game to actually work without the super-speed. Seriously, the suggestion of a representative of the one who released the game had you redirected to another emulator for you to play the game. So it looks like I just paid for the ROM itself. That said, the game looks and feels like R-Type. You can choose what ship you want based on your play style. The challenge increases after level 2 and the frantic action will make you come back for more. TL:DR version: Download an emulator if the game is too fast for you. Game plays like R-Type.

Unplayable

Games runs at (at least) double the original speed. Since it was already a difficult shmup, even when not played for score, this version is impossible to play unless you are some sort of Hammy under the energy drink effect. The other SNK games on GOG doesn't suffer from this problem, so I'm giving one star until fixed.

This NEO GEO title needs to be fixed...

Sadly, I have to agree with the other reviews. It's running way too fast on my system to the point of being unplayable. Well, at least it was on sale and therefore super cheap. But I do hope that GOG will introduce a patch soon.

No controller support

This is one of the great arcade shooters with some hilarious voice overs and tons of explosions and bullets and everything you want in a space shooter. 5 stars for the game itself! However, this particular version on GOG has no controller support. Only keyboard. It is a total drag trying to play this game with a keyboard. This is 2022! Let's get some controller support as the game listing states. Until then, I cannot recommend this game on GOG at any price. It's just not playable
