Quick description

It is a conversion of QBasic version of FX Shooter2: MiniRPG2 story.
storyline is almost same as MiniRPG2(which is also a very old simple RPG game 
for QBasic, also made by me,Change-V)
4 stages with horizontal scrolling background(originally 6 stages, but I didn't 
have time to add all)
each stages has end boss.
you can shoot 2 bullets at a time. 
3 steps of power up(for each power ups, you will shoot little bit bigger 
bullet). 
Hp and power will reset when you advance to next stage.
HP system, so one hit will not kill you.
graphics are 100% original(made by my brother Jaws-V)
music is from Wonderbeat S anime(I made BGM with what i remembered. 
I changed here and there, so BGM can be looped)
I didn't have much time, so the source code became spaghetti code.
