Holy Cheeto Spaceman! I never would have made that connection, I’ve never
even heard of that game, but looking at some
screenshots and fly.to.gradius I
definitely see the resemblance!
Weiiiierd!
I named my ship after the after the Roman Short Sword. It was alomst the
Estoc (a european sword stricly for piercing armor). I wanted to name it
after a sword since it had evolved from the Tanto (which is more of a knife
really) so I went looking for sword
descriptions.

The Japanese video game is also named after the roman sword. Engrish, you
see.

That sound you may have heard fainly in the distance earlier today was me
smacking my forehead... Engrish... jeeze...

Oh yes. It’s one of the original all time great side scrollers.

If I ever find it I’ll have to give it a try.
