I'm... not sure why I finished this? 1941 is the only game in this system that I actually thought was "decent", with everything else ranging from incredibly mediocre to just plain bad (and Ghouls 'n Ghosts just filtered me), but this is the only one of those I actually beat. I did rewind the hell out of it, but what compelled me to waste one hour on this? No idea.

It's just bad. Enemies come from both directions, with not much you can do. Your ship is slooooow, only getting faster with pick-ups - at which point your ship might become too damn fast and hard to control. There is a stage with magnetic floor and ceiling which is a complete disgrace. I could not hurt the final boss at all, and can only assume it requires a specific weapon type - of which you can't fully select, enemies drop those.

It's the only game in the system with unlimited continues though... at least it has that.
