Oh god I wanted to pass this off. Sure I loved the music and the fast-paced start to the game (I often thought of Famicom/NES as starting that where you have very to-the-point menus for a console game so you could get right to the game, turns out Konami and MSX games often did that first), but I didn't like …
Oh god I wanted to pass this off.

Fast-paced shooters just really aren't for me, but this one really stood out. I made it to 50,010 Score, just was proud I made it to the 2nd screen/segment/area however you call it. 
Super cool how each area had a theme with different enemies and graphics (see the video below), very tight controls even if I'm not in love with the mechanics, and catchy jingle. Absolutely worth a playtest despite the low average rating, Konami always produces quality imo, just not my type of game.
