What I know going in: Konami built this partly to show off what the hardware could do, and the vertical stages — where the ground curves away over a false horizon — are the reason people still bring it up. The horizontal stages are more conventional, and the weapon-select-between-stages structure is closer to Gradius than the visuals suggest.
