1cc of Metal Black by Taito (1991). Lost child of the Darius series.

I'm proud of this one!
Final stage was a total shitfest so I only have 1 life going into the final boss D:

I tend to favour more reactionary shmups, danmaku etc and often suck at games that require memorisation and consistency. This game was too damn cool for me to ignore though.
