You have different cannons and attacks, and you also had big bomb specials, and each one had a different one. One of the bomb specials was the plane turning upside down and releasing a barrage of bombs. The other one called in a bomb strike and the whole screen just got bombarded with random bombs. I think the 3rd one had a huge huge laser beam in front of it demolishing everything. God I would love to play that game again.

Was that Zaxxon?

MMMM and Subroc for shooting AT planes .. what a great game

G Darius is one of the best 2D shooters I've ever played in my life. It's for PSX and if you haven't played it, check it out.

Life Force on NES was ****** amazing as well.

That would be the Auto-Tracking Minigun. I like the Dual Pulse Laser. "Reach out and crush someone."

Both of these fine items and many more are available at Howard's Death Emporium, the one-stop shop for the discerning mercenary.
