Earlier this year I put a mini series arcade retro gaming retrospective to a vote...any everyone went for 2D sprite scaling arcade games...also known as Super Scalers! But we won't be doing Sega Arcade games...oh no...as we are going to be looking at the video game history of Taito's arcade games and sprite scaling hardware!

Up next: Night Striker! Just kidding! It's Galactic Storm...which in many ways feels like a retrogaming sequel to Night Striker on the Taito Z arcade PCB! It has all the great third person shmup action you'd want from Taito...except its way more visually impressive in the sprite scaling department as this uses a Motorola 68020 CPU with the sprite engine from the Taito Z arcade pcb! It's half video game history...half retro gaming fun...and 100% a good time! Its an absolute arcade hidden gem and gaming hidden gem!
I am playing this via MAME emulation. Emulator for the win!
