Thanks Areala but Galaxy Force II and myself are old friends! I even own the Japanese import PS2 version and it rocks! funny thing is, the game I've lost track of was in the same spot as a Galaxy Force unit exactly 1 year before and that was the first time I ever saw GF and was smitten. My mystery game was in a non-moving cockpit cabinet like Atari Star Wars with a chase view similar to Galaxy Force and Afterburner, I really can't remember anything else, it's frustrating! thanks for the reply though
