Bombing targets in Thunder Force (playing the X1 disk version) is funky: once you've fired in tandem with your reticule on the target, you have to keep flying in that direction until the bomb's landed and done its work. It's just one of the oddities related to how the game uses tile-swap scrolling to make roaming around the Scenes faster and fun. I beat K. Yoshimura's high score just now, but only got to the Dyradeizer half of Scene 2 out of 32.
