Relatively few shmups over the years have devoted themselves exclusively to this compressed, “bite-sized” play style, but a more substantial number have included so-called “caravan” modes as extras to complement a more traditional “main” game. The name is derived from a series of “Caravan Festival” tournaments held by Hudson Soft from 1985 to 1992; the most prominently-featured titles at those events, the Star Soldier games, are appropriately the best-known “caravan” shmups" - [i]BulletMagnet of racketboy.com[/i] [h1]In BULLET SOUL's Caravan Mode, you're given 2 minutes to rack up the highest score possible on a single stage.
