it's only flawed in the sense that it's an excellent game in a vacuum but goes against every design principle cherished by elitist shmup trannies who only play slightly reskinned iterations of one danmaku shooter, so it's impossible to discuss it on any shmup forum, and dedicated tyrian forums devolved into only posting about porting the game to increasingly exotic hardware

This is THE shmup game. Japanese shmups can't even compete.

The greatest scroller shooter of all time. The game was way ahead of it's time and so much fun to play...
If you haven't played it, go and get it now and try it.
