Hi everyone, hopefully there are not only bots around...:-)
What am I looking for is an arcade machine I played extensively around '92,'93...It was sci-fi scrolling shooter, very much like Tyrian (I was so sure it's that the other day when I saw Tyrian, it was so alike, only pick-ups was boxed letters I believe, pretty much like Air Gallet). But what was the most weird thing: it had both vertical and horizontal modes, while for most of the game it was vertical shooter, every now and then you nuked a hole in the ground (like Mad Shark) and when flew over, wheee! you descend bellow and game turns into side scrolling. Sometimes, at the end of the levels, ground split across whole screen so you couldn't avoid it and then the next level was also underground. But as far as I know, that would be nearly impossible to achieve with boards running those old cabinets and truly, I never saw or was able to find a mention of any game capable of both scrolling directions from those days...
