Mega Typhoon

Mega Typhoon (メガタイフーン) is a vertical Shmup for the Commodore Amiga. It runs on OCS/ECS Amigas if they have at least 1 MB of RAM and Kickstart 2.0, like the stock Amiga 600.

It calls itself "The fastest arcade action game ever made for the Amiga Computer" on the title screen, and its speed makes it stand out on a platform that is usually known for much slower paced Shmups.

Contemporary review scores were in the 70%-75% range.
