Please disregard this if it's not allowed, but is there any chance someone could send me a clean Rom of this or direct me to where I might be able to play it online using the required settings? I've become really download-shy ever since EmuParadise more or less folded. Rom Hustler seems safe enough but I'm not 100 per cent convinced. The Internet Archive has proven to be a good online place for games (it's MAME-based and you can even adjust the settings, plus it almost always uses the version Roadrunner specifies). However, this and Commando are not available. Advice?

I hear ya -- "bullet hell" games get tedious. It's like they're made for hyperactive children with too many quarters to spare.

Looks like the machine has buttons for rotating the turret; the fire button appears to be on top of the joystick. If the ROM is accurate, the turret sure seems to turn slower than necessary for the game. Probably not a big surprise it wasn't a big hit -- I think the Atari 2600 version may in fact be better.
