I
originally ran across Vapor Trail at my local arcade, "Nickel-A-Play"
where a lot of my friends go for their birthdays. There's not a
lot of shmups there, 1942 with a bad screen and some helicopter
game. So it was invetible that I find Vapor Trail, far back in the
"Free play" section of the arcade.
The
game's a lot of fun, one of those classic vertical shmups that you
forget about the day after you play 'em. However, on my quest for
some MAME ROMs, me and Vapor Trail crossed paths again.
I
started playing the game and I realized, "Hey, this would be a great
game to review for Shmups; I can actually beat it!" (Yeah, because
you have unlimited credits =P - Akira)
