I actually found a spot just off-center almost at the bottom of the screen where you can't get hit by any of the boss shot patterns. Finding it almost instantaneously, I just realized I play way too many bullet hell shmups. Otherwise, great looking game.

Can you suggest some of the old coin-ops of the same genre? I remember having lots of fun with many but can't, for the life of me, remember any of their names. All that comes to mind is Ikaruga, but that was on the GameCube or whatnot.

Yeah, Ikaruga was a classic. For very traditional "bullet hell" stuff, I recommend you start with the Touhou Project (a million games, all of them are essentially the same thing). I've also been playing a lot of Jamestown lately. Unfortunately, I'm running on very little sleep and nothing is else to coming to mind, but definitely check those out.

Ah, thank you. I'm not looking so much for bullet hell stuff, there were less bullets than this, but I remember ground vehicles you could destroy, nice graphics (maybe on the Neo Geo?), powerups, things like that. It was a military installation-themed thing...
