N2O, Nitrous Oxide is a scrolling shoot-em-up that was never released in Japan. The game featured music by The Crystal Method, and has some plotline about how aliens are trying to build a sub-atomic particle collider, and your job is to enter these colliders and destroy all the enemies or something.

The gameplay was fun as hell. You are constantly moving forward inside of a donut, and can move left or right along the inner walls as you travel forward. You start each level at a certain speed, and each enemy you kill makes you move faster. Also, if you take too long spikes start appearing on the wall. It makes for some high speed action. If I recall correctly there are about 40 levels, and a boss level every 5 levels. Great colorful visuals and the good electronic soundtrack work well together, and suit the gameplay. A fun shoot-em-up, and a great game to play at any party with hallucinogenics.
