Working through re-playing the MSX 2 games in my collection, the next title is another shoot-em up, called Darwin 4078. This is a direct conversion of the original arcade game by Data East (recently released in the Data East collection for the Evercade), it takes a little to get into but isn't too bad once you get used to the mechanics.
There was a sequel, Darwin 4081, made for the Megadrive/Genesis, which I might cover shortly for comparison.
Game play recorded on original hardware, a MSX 2+ at 60Hz.
