Hey dude, I just learned that Hamster Corporation released Viper Phase 1 as part of the Arcade Archives series recently, so I decided to download it from the Nintendo eShop. I only ever played VP1 like once or twice when I was little, as well as a couple or so times on an online emulator. So, when I saw that they released VP1 as part of the Arcade Archives series, I knew I had to get it.

Oh nice, I've downloaded Dodonpachi Saidaioujou myself. It's pretty good although I wished Live Wire had an English patch. I might check out Viper Phase 1 seeing as it's a Raiden spinoff and I love the Raiden series.

NOW UPDATING. PLEASE WAIT A MOMENT.

Tune played by the Seibu SPI BIOS whilst it transfers game data off the daughterboard and into the SPI hardware's built-in flash memory. Each game has a different one.

Logos and background artwork for Viper Phase-1. This 1995 Seibu Kaihatsu shoot-em-up provides a hefty challenge strewn with enemy bullets like so many droplets like one of those sprinklers you know you shouldn't run through on a hot summer day, but just can't help yourself. The enemy variety isn't that great, but blowing them up sure is satisfying. There's a stage that, somehow, manages to incorporate Galaga-style bonus formations worth an ever-increasing amount if you can take them all out before they escape the screen. In an unusual move for the genre, the game even provides an explanation (albeit a rather ridiculous one when you actually think about it) for why you will infinitely loop back to the first stage after completing it.

However, I'm not sure that even these elements justify the self-importance the game assigns itself no less than four different logos that appear at various points. Maybe they just really liked that logo, I don't know. At least they made the most of it; Seibu Kaihatsu never got another chance to use that logo, as there was no Viper Phase-2.
