I'm a huge fan of the arcade original. Flying Shark was a formative game to me, so I can easily tell, that this version just feels extremely off. M2 did an awesome job porting it to modern consoles in their Shot-Triggers series and it's fantastic on GroovyMAME too. This effort, however, is p*ss poor.👎🏻
