Can anyone remember an arcade game: shoot blocks from around a ship w/ face

It's not sinistar, but the ship is similar, but you are trying to destroy blocks all around this grumpy faced ship and these smaller ships are trying to ram you at first and in second stage shoot at you. Thanks.

What console or computer? Is it an arcade game?

I played it in a video arcade in the early 1980s. I don't know off-hard of any console ports but there may have been and I forgot.

Star Castle?

The grumpy faced ship sounds like Sinistar.

It does, I think it must have been just an obscure clone. It was in a bowling alley arcade. Maybe some practically nameless bootleg, which explains why its like sinistar, but had a different name.

This is possible, I may have been off a couple years...I'll try it in MAME when I get home.

I think I found it....Zektor

Wait wait, so Zektor was a sequel to Space Fury? That big brain guy even appears in a later stage, telling you "So, we meet again. Prepare for battle!"

Yes... not many people heard of it since it's on the uber rare side of arcade collecting.

 

I actually prefer it over Space Fury
