Here’s a cool surprise - Atlus’ unreleased Wing Force, an arcade SHMUP, preserved and emulated in MAME!
The game was developed by A.I., a fairly prolific contract studio that’s still in business today. If you’re following this Tumblr you’ve probably played at least one of their games - maybe Wrath of the Black Manta, or Bonk 3?
As you can see, this was a very Raiden-inspired game, much like A.I.’s prior arcade SHMUP, Blazeon, owes its existence to Gradius.
The board was recently sold in a Yahoo! Japan Auction listing, and was acquired and dumped by Shou. Read way more about it here.
