Decent STG, real draw is the huge ass cabinet and the double screen presentation of the Darius series. Great music. Made me realize the spectacle and experience has always been the selling feature of Darius, which aren't ever the most interesting or challenging STG games. You want to go back and play it at the arcade so you can get your hair blown back. Now that arcades at least in the US are generally enthusiast spaces, the cabinet doesn't feel nearly as exciting as whatever classic you're there to play. But it's a cool memorable time, an artifact of the period where arcade machines were fighting to produce experiences that home consoles couldn't recreate.

Somebody hid this game on a network shared drive at my high school and I was in a computer lab class that was meant for taking online community college courses--we spent so much time instead playing this game on LAN. Even the nongamers in the class would join. One of my favorite gaming experiences in my entire life.
