Note

This is the most Arcade like (before the SS/PS version) and most advanced home version of SALAMANDER. The stages are the same and the whole feeling is very close to the original AC one. One thing different is that a ship will not appear immediately after crashed in 1 Player mode, like the situation in GRADIUS.

The difficulty of this game is pretty hard because the game level increased a lot in every loop (everytime you finished it once). At least, the game level will be increased in the first 4 loops from my experience in the Expert difficulty by 1 credit.
