That being said, if you can beat it at difficulty 5, all the more power to you! That game is legit one of the hardest shmups out there.

The difficulty is scaled from 1 to 10 I think?

3 is the default difficulty in the original release.

The NTSC version is set to 5 by default, but if you bump it below 5, it doesn't let you play beyond Stage 4, meaning you can't actually play through the game at the intended difficulty.

The NTSC version of this game is a lot tougher than other regions due to some difficulty meddling in the Working Designs localisation.

Would recommend playing the Japanese version if you have the choice, it's still pretty though but at least you're getting the intended difficulty!

I wrote a long article about Rieko Kodama, her career at Sega, the evolution of her company, the games she worked on (including some canceled games and/or games for which she is not credited), the status of women and working conditions in the video game industry, etc.

Illustration: a portrait of Rieko Kodama with some of the games she has worked on. The dominant colors are yellow, purple and red. Counterclockwise from top left: Rieko Kodama, Alis and Lutz from Phantasy Star, Sonic in a maze, Alex Kidd and his motorbike next to Flicky on a waterfront pier, Joe Musashi and his dog near the Statue of Liberty facing a skyline, the three playable characters from Golden Axe seen from behind on the edge of a cliff, and one of the flying ships from Skies of Arcadia.

Shame on anyone who makes excuses for Israel, especially now that its crimes have never been clearer. Your sense of humanity and morality are in the dirt, never to be washed clean.
