Toaplan Shooters Vol 2 - Grind Stormer

Picked this up for a nostalgic weekend session and the arcade port feels spot-on—the ship controls are tight and the bullet patterns are just as relentless as I remember from the cabinet. It's exactly the kind of challenge I wanted without any frills getting in the way.

The endless waves of alien ships keep the adrenaline going from start to finish, and flying my space fighter through that chaos feels exactly like the arcade cabinet I remember. I've already lost an evening to it, and the difficulty curve is perfect for a challenge without being unfair.
