Archived from groups: alt>games>mame (more info?)

I remember playing a game in the arcade that I love, but cannot seem to
remember the name. I think it was a two player game, it scrolled top to
bottom, I think you were on some sort of vehicle. When you would kill
something it would drop coins or maybe tokens of some sort which you
would collect. Every once in while while the screen was scrolling down
you would pass weapons\powerup you could buy with your tokens. I know
its not much to go on, but I need to find out what it was called.

Thanks in advance.
Mark

Sounds a lot like a Cave shooter like maybe DonPachi or DoDonPachi?

You'll give a better chance of the game being named if you give more details
: Like roughly what year?

Vanguard? Did it fire in 4 directions and require a hoof-like appendage
to use the fire buttons?

No it scrolled up and down. When you would come upon a weapon it would
have a "price Tag". If you had collected enough tokens you could buy
it.
