Vimana

Vimana (ヴィマナ in Japanese) is a vertical scrolling shooting arcade game released in 1991 by Toaplan, and licensed to Romstar for US distribution. The title "Vimana" is an Indian word that refers to a vehicle that can fly in the sky.

The game was based on the orthodox shooting game world of spaceship battles, but also featured fantastic characters that reminded us of the mythological world of India. The game features shots that can be accumulated and shot, circle bombs that rotate around your ship, and a low difficulty level. However, Vimana did not perform as well as "Truxton" at the box office, and was a flop.

Gameplay
Use one lever in eight directions and two buttons (shot and circle bomb) to control your ship. There are 6 stages, and the game repeats after the 6th stage.
