TRIVIA

Recca was created for a shooting game competition called the Summer Carnival by Naxat Soft, which took place on July 17, 1992.

Recca means Raging Fire.

The game was known for having high sprite counts while maintaining fast speeds. Recca is one of the few games that pushes the hardware of the Famicom console to its limits. For example, the game shows sprites for effects (like explosions) at 30fps instead of 60fps to work around the sprite limitations of the system.

The game was developed by programmer Shinobu Yagawa, who would later work on games like Battle Garegga, Pink Sweets, and Ibara.

The soundtrack was released by Scitron on September 21, 2005 as Legend Consumer Series - Summer Carnival '92 Recca Original Soundtrack.
