Wasn't there a thread ages ago where someone was talking about that hidden stuff in GOT?  I swear somebody said they could make it playable or something but all you do is fly through empty corridors.  This was like a year or more ago though, I could be thinking of a completely different game.

Another bit of info about GOT. There's an unfinished level in both the JP and US version. You can't access it of course. There's also another secret level that was modified in both versions. It appears to be a some sort of debug level.. I'm not really sure of its purpose. I wrote a graphics decompressor for GOT, maybe when I get some free time I'll check out what tiles/sprites the unfinished and debug level have packed away.
Holy crap, you definitely gotta let us see that!!!

Nice review of GoT, Kostantiniyya.  It is indeed one of the greatest shmups, if not the greatest.  You might want to get those jokers at HonestGamers to fix an error though - Fray is most definitely not a shooter, though one little section of it is.

Hell yeah, malducci!  Let's see those hidden bits of Got!

Hey malducci, while you're at it could you also program a brand new level of your own with the dudes from Forgotten Worlds as playable characters with TWO PLAYER simultaneous action and new music by Yuzo Koshiro and animation cut scenes by Disney?  I'll check back in a couple of days for the completed hack!

I have to admit that GoT is probably my favourite shooter evah!  The sound track is awesome, and the graphic  design and game play are as good as anything out there, imho... I also appreciate the fact that it's manageable, which I can't say of some of the more recent bullet hell shooters out there...  #-o

So are you saying if you didn't have a day job that you would do this, including the effort to contact Yuzo to make the soundtrack?

Seriously though, Yuzo is pretty easy to contact.  I've spoke with him on a few occasions.  Well... not "spoke" but actually exchanged textual communications like I do with you guys.
