Damn straight. My favorite track and probably my favorite level of the game also.
Composing of the whole game was really top notch.

Been playing UNS for the last month or so. Got back into the swing and beat it on Normal. Now I'm working on getting through it on Hard, but I keep getting stuck on the infamous ceiling crawler in stage 9.
Just now after another game over, I decided to hop on YouTube and see some strategies. I came across a comment of some dude saying basically, "you're making this harder than it is, look at my channel to see a better way."
So I came across this:
Did anyone know you could go under the ground guns like this?
Pick another one back up dude. I paid like $15.
Yeah, the name is probably the worst thing about it. I can remember not liking the name when I was younger because I didn't understand what it was. Now it's a little different because I know how much the UN is bullshit.
But I'm guessing the name came from the fact that the characters are from three different countries working together in the same force. Just a guess.
I see your argument but they could have just called it Mercenary Squadron or just about anything that was at least somewhat related to what the game was based on. "UN Squadron" is just cringe worthy.
Awwwww really?!? Do you at least have some picture of it saved? I´d like to drool a bit. Never seen a dedicated UN squadron cab.
Well, I remember another arcade gem on the Mega Drive, 16:9 stretched to meet the console folks expectations as to the "length" of a game a/k/a if not, then I'll credit feed myself through in 15 minutes, which is way too $hort... it's Toki. What a damn shame.

I appreciate each version for what they are. You are right in that the SNES game is more like a shmup/RPG (which is a rarity) with what is essentially gold and experience and the ability to buy items and upgrades. There is even grinding in the form of destroying the convoys. If you are not a fan of RPGs I can see the SNES version being a let down, but for me I do appreciate this hybrid style.
Thats why one of my top 5 shmups is Guardian Legend. Not because it's shmup levels are so dramatically impressive, but the speed in which they move, and the grinding necessary to get to a level capable of making it through......great game.
