What's up, shmup fans! Another week in the books, at last. Welcome to the weekly open thread! Any topic goes!
Been working a bunch this week, but I've been checking out Image Fight via MAME. Man, people talk about Truxton being tough--Image Fight is no joke! Irem's not known for its top-down shooters, but I think they did a pretty good job with IF, as hard as it is. Very different than the Toaplan and Compile stuff I'm used to.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
