X-Multiply

One of Irem's shooters, in the same family of R-Type. I definitely prefer this game to R-Type II - it's still tough but a little bit less based on memorization. Still, I wish they wouldn't have stuck the "large battleship" stage right in the second level. They tend to kill the momentum for me, even though it's not overwhelmingly difficult.

I could never get passed the battleship stage in this game. I had the same problem with Dragon Breed interestingly.

I actually liked the battleship level. I'm actually kind of glad it's only the second level because they would have made it super hard if it would have come up later.

This game is awesome, by the way. I originally got it for Image Fight because I heard that with the Penalty Zone, it's the hardest shmup ever. I ended up liking it more for X-Multiply. The levels are hard, but not as brutal as those in R-Type and eating up bullets with those tentacle arm shields never gets old.

Hello.

Is it me or does this game not show up in MAMEUI v0.149? Is there another name for it? Or am I just blind?

Thank you in advance.

The spelling of the title is inconsistent. I used X-Multiply, the title screen indicates XMultiply, MAME indicates X Multiply.
