Solid port, multiple ROM variations, dipswitch options, QoL settings, leaderboards, etc. Doesn't pop open the hood to show you what's going on in the engine the way an M2 STG release does, but Bitwave did a nice job with this. As far as the game itself goes, it would be a Raiden clone except Raiden didn't exist yet. One of the seminal shmups that's been copied and iterated on so many times it's easy to forget that the Tiger and Shark games did it first. And better in most ways, I think.
