A space shooter with VR-style graphics making use of the Mega-CD's sprite rotation and scaling power.  Though the screens may look 3D, it is in truth a limited vertically scrolling shooter with nothing much to offer over the 19xx generation.  A choice of weapons after the first stage and changing backdrops add some variety, but unless you're a fan of this type of twitch gaming, the whole thing becomes difficult and tiresome very quickly.
