My attempt at Terra Cresta, despite my best efforts, I wasn't really able to crack this game.
Has a real tough level from the off, with very little chance to outmanoeuvre the enemy fire with a very sluggish ship and when you do finally upgrade your ship, it only makes things harder since it makes your ship an even bigger target!

Terra Cresta (テラクレスタ) is a vertical-scrolling shooter arcade game released by Nichibutsu in 1985; it runs on Nichibutsu hardware, and is the sequel to Moon Cresta, release five years prior. The game would be ported over to the Family Computer, and later published to the Nintendo Entertainment System by Vic Tokai. The original arcade version was later ported to the PlayStation 4 in 2014 as part of the Arcade Archives label.[1]

Terra Cresta was followed by Terra Force in 1987. It would later receive a PC-Engine sequel Terra Cresta II: Mandler no Gyakushuu in 1992, and later by the Sega Saturn release Terra Cresta 3D in 1997.
