This is the second of four (4) parts of my newest 1cc completion of a RARE and even lesser-known 1999 shmup designed exclusively for the Japanese Sharp x68000/x68030 computer series, and it is entitled Otoko Dama (男弾), programmed and presented by Mitsuky with all graphics created by Hiroshi Suzuki. And I am telling you right now, this game is MANIC, with apparently more enemy bullets on the screen at once than Cho Ren Sha 68k!!! Thankfully though, there are several weapons available in your inventory, beginning with your 5-way shot that gets narrower and narrower the more rapidly you press the Fire button; and three (3) different types of bombers that can be selected on the first time you press the Bomber button, then with this very same button indeed once the bomber selection is first available, you can choose between "Bomber", "Back-B", or even the mega-powerful "Laser"!!! Once you have selected your bomber to use, you can fire it off by pressing the Fire button. Complicated stuff, you know?
And finally, the *most* important defensive weapon of all is called the Ramming Attack, in which you hold down the fire button to get your ship flashing for 2-3 seconds, with which you will then ram into enemies for that short period of time, damaging and even destroying them for some big scores all while offering brief invulnerability from enemies and shots at the same time!!! I gotta caution you though... this special move is recommended ONLY for expert players at this game, because using this attack can put you at risk of destroying your own ship if you are not careful... especially when your brief invulnerability wears off!! :o !
Wow, no wonder Otoko Dama (男弾) is ONE tough mother of an x68k shooting game, especially with the enemies as tough as nails... but here, I fight victoriously through Stage 3, as I really am becoming adept to using the special Ramming Attack ability to my advantage as well as learning to hold my fire on the "floating mines" part that comes later in this area (since these actually enemies shoot out HUGE circles of suicide bullets upon their one-hit death!), as you will see right here in this video!!
