Is GunForce II any different from RayStorm?

Also, I think Aero Fighters Special is the english translation of Sonic Wings Special, which did get a port to the Saturn and PSX.

Some of the above games listed are good... others I'm not so sure about.

I'll add a Japan-only puzzle game from Namco:

Aqua Rush

If only my rig was able to handle it better, I'd keep playing it (System 12 game from 1999) It's a heck of a "rush"!

Time for another one!

Ambush

By Spanish company Tecfri, this was 3D and rather good for 1983.

You start by taking off from an airstrip, and blasting off into space for a number of short waves.

After you are finished, you must land back on that same strip, but watch your speed and approach!

Very nice little game.
