This is easily one of my favorite PCE games. It’s a competent arcade port and the most glaring downgrade I’ve noticed is in the into bit. In the home version it just rises out of a crater while the arcade game has space dragon hatch from an egg.

Almost all shippy shooty games have a gimmick. Here, the dragon’s body segments can be used to block certain projectiles! It’s not the first time a moveable shield has been done but it’s present by default, no power-ups required.
