Summer Carnival '92 Recca

KID developed Recca, while Naxat Soft published it for Nintendo's Famicom in 1992. Programmer Shinobu Yagawa later became closely associated with Battle Garegga and other demanding arcade shooters.

Releasing the fire button charges a bomb that can protect the ship and clear bullets when deployed. This creates a risk-reward choice between continuous shooting and preparing a defensive escape.

Yes, it includes two-minute Score Attack and five-minute Time Attack challenges associated with Naxat's Summer Carnival competition. It also has a Zanki Attack mode that starts the player with 50 lives but introduces suicide bullets.
