Raiden II and DX, both have the purple "toothpaste" laser that builds up from shots to a lock-on stream. Unfortunately neither games are properly emulated in mame. Though you could run the PSX port in a playstation emulator. Next best thing to getting the PCBs. |

Plenty of games have auto fire, but give you a faster rate of fire if you can tap faster, very few actually change the shot types. I know there's another one with a power bar visible on the screen which increases the faster you tap, but I can't for the life of me remember what it's called. |
