Lets Remember...Storm Blade!

[Zerodash]

*can't seem to find any screenshots on this one*

Brought to you by Visco Games, a vertical shmup featuring airplanes taking on the world. It resembles the Strikers series quite a bit, but it also features some nifty character art.

Storm Blade plays like standard shmup fare and offers 3 (?) playable characters: the token young hotshot, the token female, and the token grizzled old guy.

Arcade-only and forgotten...

Who remembers this shmup?

It looked kind of like Aerofighters from the screenshots I saw a long time ago but I haven't played it.

The only Visco shooter I remember playing is Andro Dunos which was mediocre.

Funny enough Storm Blade is the only functioning PCB that I have, and I've yet to build a JAMMA rig for it so that I can test it and post some screenshots. The problem is that I don't want to buy an expensive RGB->NTSC converter, and don't have enough time to make my own circuit. I have everything else: JAMMA connector, cable, box, Power Supply, joysticks, tech drawings... etc.

It is a very good game. It rivals Strikers in my opinion, though it probably is not as good as Raiden Fighters Blah.
