Robo Aleste (SCD - 1993) playthrough on Easy

One of my favorite shooters. Even on Easy, it's not a walk in the park. Unfortunately the naming of the entries in the Aleste franchise for the US releases is all over the place -- the other US releases in the series being Power Strike on Master System, MUSHA on Genesis, Space Megaforce on SNES. Otherwise, after playing this, I likely would have been on the lookout for the other games back around when they were released.
The end boss music is Concerto for Two Violins: I. Vivace by Johann Sebastian Bach.

I had multiple failures on some stages and bosses. If that's the case, only the first failure and then the successful attempt have time stamps.
