This is a good game, and imo my favorite version. The PC Engine version has extra levels, but I am glad they were cut from the Genesis port (it's annoying already to have 2 Egyptian-styled levels in a row, let alone 4). The PCE/Arcade original versions are also a little too hard for what I want out of the game - to say nothing of the borderline-bugged last boss of the arcade original.

Great fun! Capcom shootemups are eminently approachable and enjoyable... They have a very "video-gamey" feel to them. Other greats by Capcom, that are good for beginners is the SNES remake of UN Squadron (better than the staid original), HyperDyne SideArms (the PC Engine version is my favorite, but the original is good), Gun.Smoke, and the Genesis version of MERCS.
