I've been playing it. It is even better with the Nextball Arcade than I thought it would be, which is a strangely common feeling with the Nextball. When first testing, I had only tried the first character. Now I realise each character moves differently.  This is particularly great with an analogue trackball as you get a very different feel and  different control experience with each of them. Genius! It looks fantastic and plays very well indeed. The high score table is a little tricky to use still, but I'm sure that will get sorted and it doesn't affect the game play. The immediate reaction I had to seeing a letter A presented was to use the cursor up/down keys to change it. That got me a number entered. So I pressed delete. That got me another number entered. Luckily my first high score was easily beaten. :-D  Wing Warriors, when paired with the Nextball, is the only analogue vertical shooter experience for the Next. Red Shift is great, but it is a Speccy 128K game and is a bit monochrome.  For me, this is the best vertical shooter on the platform.
