Battle Garegga (Arcade)
Battle Garegga is a classic shoot-em-up arcade game where you pilot an aircraft into war.
It comes with a soundtrack so nice they made it thrice.
Battle Garegga was released in February 1996.
It was considered as the first ‘Danmaku’ shooting game. Danmaku is a Japanese term for ‘barrage’, as in a barrage of bullets.
The main gun and bomb power-up systems are almost identical in mechanics, many vehicles have the same attacking patterns, you can destroy scenery and there are flamingos flying away at stage 2 of both games :). Another interesting thing : “Batsugun” also was a source of inspiration for this game, as the last Toaplan game was one of the first SHMUPS in which bombing in key spots (4th boss) could grant a lot of points.
As always, remember to have fun!
