SHMUPS!

NOW THAT'S A GIGA WING!

See if you can spot the blasted 'Medalion'. It's not as bad as it looks, though.Reflecting the blue rings before they spread out too much is a good idea.

The bullet spandrels are not fun- take my word for it. And then there are the straight lasers which seek you out-

Weather that and you run into the best action shot I've got for the boss. Time for a breather.

The 'wings' then extend, and, in addition to several turrets, you get little heads from both wings. These are the left wing's; the right wing's are similar but also include rounder ones. Not fun.

Bullet Froot Loops. Can things get any weirder?

Another classic action shot.

Almost a perfect heart pattern. the left wing nearly pulled it off too.

After the above attack, the gigantic ship disintegrates and Medalion goes bonkers, throwing out a mad cube to get you. My luck ran out shortly after this shot was taken.

Actually, if you do make it past this bloke on one credit, you get to take on the guy behind all this. Unfortunately I didn't quite make it and he very nearly isn't worth it either.

But anyway - as you can see, Giga Wing certainly is no saved-by-the-gimmick shmup, but can easily hold its own against other, more canonical manic shmups. The Dreamcast version isn't too hard to get, so I suggest you do so if you own a Dreamcast. And go for the damn giga score.
