Although we recall Phalanx being a competent shooter, the game is actually remembered for its SNES box art, which featured an elderly Appalachian-lookin' man holding a banjo. Almost 20 years later, we still don't understand it.

Wait, I could swear we had this on a DOS computer at after care!
Is it the one with the V-Beam and the Phalanx Beam, and you would pick which ones to use before you started the level?

The only connection I can draw is that some banjo players....can pick really damn fast.
I'm up for a fast shooter game, hopefully the new version comes to NAU.
