Kiaidan 00

Sci-fi retro feel about this horizontally scrolling shoot em up emphasised by the cheesy opening animation song. Kaidan is a robot tasked with saving the Earth and piloted by the creator's son Takeshi, whose girlfriend is always offering support over the intercom. Massive levels and ginormous bosses reminiscent of Transformers in their prime. Definitely worthy of closer attention from shooter aficionados.
