Robo Aleste (SCD - 1993) playthrough on Normal

Moving up to Normal difficulty.
One of my favorite shooters. Unfortunately the naming of the entries in the Aleste franchise for the US releases is all over the place -- the other US releases in the series being Power Strike on Master System, MUSHA on Genesis, Space Megaforce on SNES. Otherwise, after playing this, I likely would have been on the lookout for the other games back around when they were released.
The end boss music is Concerto for Two Violins: I. Vivace by Johann Sebastian Bach.

I had multiple failures on some stages and bosses. If that's the case, only the first failure and then the successful attempt have time stamps.
