additional information
info 0.62 [David Haywood]

Bugs:
  • Let it run through the attract mode and on the screen with the earth down the bottom is a glitchy line (from the robot behind the earth as it moves up i think) and the big explosion is glitchy (like half of it is missing). The line looks to be the background layer(s) showing through. Both of these are present in 92u2000 btw. daioh0105u3gre cpukett / Twisty
WIP:
  • 24th November 2002: David Haywood fixed the background layer placement in Daioh.
  • 0.62: David Haywood added Daioh (Athena 1993).
  • 27th August 2002: David Haywood changed Daioh to use the redumped ROMs, fixing the background graphics glitches.
  • 26th August 2002: David Haywood added Daioh to the Seta driver, it's playable but there is some garbage in the background graphics.
LEVELS: 7 (must be finished twice)

history Daioh (c) 07/1993 Athena.

An excellent vertically scrolling space shoot'em up. Excellent graphics, multi-layer scrolling, big sprites (especially bosses), and an extreme difficulty that continued to increase from easy to insane the farther along you went without getting killed.
