Sweet Stuff! Overhead shppt-em-up's are really fun, and one where you're a dragon has a nice way of addon attacks.
Like flame blast and a wing attack, and other breath based attacks.
They look like caped men wielding lances on giant eagles to me. (Fantastic work! I especially like the textures).
There was another game like this on Atari ST/E and Amiga called "Wings of Death". Reminds me a bit of it.
