I remember trying this with Mame and being put off quickly by the lack of autofire. Seems that I missed a crazy ride, I'll have to get back to it. I notice no themes listed. It belongs to the "wacky / over the top" category for sure. NMK is obnoxious game developer. I tell you. For example in Explosive Breaker, some bosses are photographic rendered Apache (battle heli) and Yacht and they can shoot wildly

Apparently Riot was developed by Tecmo. I'm not sure if your serious... but Riot is an NMK game, but for some apperent reason you can convert a Final Starforce board into a Riot one using the riot rom. Maybe the games just run in the same hardware? Tecmo could have sold some boards and/or their production rights to NMK...

Explosive Breaker is a Kaneko game, totally different company.
Riot is definitely a Tecmo game. It looks just like other Tecmo games and even uses a common Tecmo font, and it runs on hardware that only a few Tecmo games use (the same hardware that Final Star Force uses). Mikio Saito and Mitsuhito Tanaka are Tecmo employees and have never worked for NMK. It's even theorized that it was done by a lot of the same people behind Ninja Gaiden (and maybe even Raiga), but Riot has no credits to check. SuperSweep isn't stupid like TEAM is (lots of NMK games on the Jaleco album), they know who developed what, and you don't really need that album to tell...
Aside from the president of NMK being a Tecmo employee, I heard that NMK started out as (part of?) the team for the original Bomb Jack.
Other than the final stage, Riot is definitely not a quarter muncher. Even then, I think the final stage is actually doable, you're just forced to take damage at some point.
edit: Apparently you can even deal with the final stage, but there might be some RNG involved.

Riot's soundtrack inclusion in this album proves that it's more of a Tecmo game than an NMK one: vgmdb.net/album/45624

Not only that, but Raiga's stage 3 (on this album), "KARTUS", is partially based on the "main" bit of Tarkus. "Kartus-Part 2" in Thunder Cross II takes the idea quite a bit further. Apparently we needed even more proof that prog rock (and jazz fusion) is the heart and soul of video game music.
