A Laundromat from my childhood had an arcade room, an early one of which was eventually rotated out. I spent decades looking for it again, erroneously thinking it was a Neo-Geo game. It wasn't until a random YouTube video had a list that contained 'Capcom Classics Collection vol 2' did I finally find it and get to play it again:

'Three Wonders'

I really only played the first two games..
"Midnight Wanderers" was effectively a faster-paced 'Ghost & Goblins' clone.
"Chariot" was a unique Shm'up..
Both are excellent in my humble opinion... AND I'm willing to bet that YOU have never played them before either!!

I spent 15 years fruitlessly searching the internet for the name of this thig then a Japanese streamer called SuperSiSi just dropped it at random on Twitter. I was so blown away I donated to her KoFi.
