Another shmup game made by Alpha Denshi.
This is basically like a time travelling
game that depicts war in every country.

It's up to MobyGames on what is all about:
"It is 2090 and mankind has developed a
supercomputer called Desmoura. It achieves
sentience as it sets itself around Earth's
orbit. It becomes so powerful that it builds
a time machine to send various war machines
back in time to possible change Earth's
history. Stealth space fighters are sent
back to correct the time-lines and eventually
destroy Desmoura.

There are eight time-lines to negotiate:
Great Britain 1945, Germany 1915, Japan 1945,
Germany 1944, Vietnam 1974, France 1914,
Russia 1974 and finally the space station
in the present time"

In-game stands for music that doesn't loop in
the sound test itself.

Track 05 was a pain in the ass to find the
proper loop for this.

And yes, there's no soundtrack release on
this game. So, track names are taken from
Dario's previous work on this pack.
