Flying Shark is a very playable shooter on the ST. The framerate is not 50Hz and there si no overscan or raster mania but it delivers a steady playable shooting game.

In contrast to the arcade version there is no horizontal scroll but the screen on the ST is wider.

I like this one and the ST version is good fun!

Recommended :)
