Got the Expert 1CC during a shmup kumite. Really awesome game, you have the fixed axis movement of Space Harrier with weapon pickups and lock-on missiles ala Rayforce or SA2 mechs. Nice blend of speed, chaos and control. My only personal gripe is the length, it's 16 levels and a lot of that is re-cycled environments and enemy sprites - new patterns of course, but it looks samey. I think an 8 stage game with unique art for each level would've been the tighter choice.
