Play Chuugokuryuu II Online
You control a tiny pixel dragon dodging waves of enemies while the screen scrolls up—mess up the rhythm and you're back to the checkpoint with synth beats blaring.
Chuugokuryuu II came out in 1995 for arcades, a Taito release that fit right in with the era's love for fast, unforgiving shooters. It didn't try to reinvent the wheel, but it had a certain charm that kept you feeding quarters into the machine.
You pilot a small dragon through vertically scrolling stages packed with enemy formations and bullet patterns. The main goal is survival, clearing each screen of foes while dodging everything they throw at you. Key mechanics include collecting power-ups to enhance your dragon's firepower and a charge shot that can clear the screen when timed right. The pacing is relentless, and the difficulty is steep, typical for mid-90s arcade design. It feels like a tense, rhythmic dance where one mistimed move sends you back to the last checkpoint with the synth soundtrack pushing you forward.
