Personal review

A very nice fantasy shoot 'm up game by Konami, inspired by the Japanese manga 'Hi no Tori'. In this game, you have to collect various items in different stages. Some stages have to be played more than once in order to be able to do so. Furthermore, a stage is not just scrolling from start to end, but you have to find your way through various gates, for which you have to find the appropriate key first. Quite an original concept.
