It is! :D Well spotted!

I have to say: I discovered this game only in the past few years. To me it seems like one of those underrated gems that nobody ever mentions. IMHO it had lots of interesting features, for the time, but sure was tough as hell...

Here's a smooth longplay, anyway.

Also I always forget its right name, so putting it here now I'm pretty sure I won't forget it again (roll)

Don't exactly recognise it but looks like something along the lines of Galaxians, maybe on an Atari 8-bit.
 

Mouth for war

It's not galaxians. :)

Mouth for war

Not sure I know many obscure 8-bit shmups!! - only thing I can think of is Galaga.

What's bugging me is that for some reason the ship design rings a bell...

Well, the title of the game sounds like a really cheesy low budget sci fi horror movie I guess hehe. I can give out the first word of the title if the next few guesses are wrong :)

Awesome looking low-res ship in any case...No idea what the game is...

But...It looks like the player is already on zero lives on level 01 from the readout so best of luck to them...

Poor them... :~(

Mouth for war

Haha yeah :) Ok the title has 2 words, first word begins with "S" and second begins with "D"

I finally found it on a webpage about obscure Nintendo games (so clearly I cannot now answer!).  To be fair to me it did mention both Galaxians and Galaga in the short description of the game. :-D

"Starship Destiny"?

Mouth for war

Ohh no mandle that is too great a title to spoil on this piece of crap :-D

Aurgh I can't stand it any longer!!!  It's "Space Demons".  But as I cheated, someone else take my go.

 

kconan

Quite an obscure pull that one.

CaptainD

Okay since no-one seems to want to take over the mantle for now, here's one from an obvious guess but only a small part of the screen so maybe, just maybe, not quite so obvious (though it probably will be to someone!).

Pretty sure that's from the excellent Book of Unwritten Tales.
