A fantastic Japanese mecha shooter in which you get to pilot the Ranger X while singlehandedly fighting off a massive assault on your home base.

This beautiful-looking shoot 'em up reminds me an awful lot of the arcade classic Sidearms. It has the same incredible graphics, the same ear-catching sound, and the same awkward gameplay. Manages to do some neat visual tricks rarely seen before or afterwards in a G/MD game, though, and that's probably worth the hassle for most folks.
