NFOhumpers, help me! I'm losing it trying to find an arcade vertical shoot 'em up which I've played back in 1990 or so after school (yeah I'm that old) at the nearest pub. Regular cabinet.

It was desert-themed (at least the first stage, second one was in the sky with clouds and all if my memory doesn't fail me) and the futuristic jet you manoeuvred had different kinds of weaponry (no shit sherlock Laughing ) with one in particular like a laser shooting arc? blue bows or sth.

I've spent the whole morning looking at http://www.mobygames.com/game-group/genre-scrolling-shoot-em-up/offset,525/so,1d/ 5 pages up, 5 down with no luck whatsoever. I've even looked out turbographx16 shmups in that list Confused

Thanks in advance!

Nope, it was 2D / vertical, à la 1942. TY for your guess tho

Raiden ?

Think it was around that time, was highly popular. Had Desert levels but not sure if it was the first.

Thanks,

no Raiden either, it was a more obscure one. Looked a bit like this one: http://www.mobygames.com/game/last-day_ alas more grittier and color-palette duller.

None of those sadly, as you said they were more modern. Maybe the game was from 1988-1990?

Nope. It was less action packed, not so many enemies and frantic tunes. Kudos for helping me though, Janz
