Vulgus
This was Capcom's first arcade game. The player controls a spaceship with a single objective- destroy incoming enemies. The vessel has two different weapons- a primary weapon with infinite ammunition and a limited supply of bombs. By picking up the Pow icons, which sporadically appear throughout the levels, the player can replenish supplies. [wikipedia]
