Storm Caliber Revival Edition'99 is a doujin shmup by SRX (S.S.P.) in 1999 as a freeware game for windows. The game seems to be an early incarnation of Graze Counter, and features some similarities to CAVE shmups.
The game has 3 stages and 2 loops, with a TLB awaiting at the end.

Gameplay Overview
The player can fire the main shot and the bomb. When the player grazes bullets, it will fire hommming shots that will chase down any enemy. However, if firing homming shots, the energy gauge (on the top right) will be consumed. If it empties, homming shots cannot be fired again until the energy gauge refills.
Controls
- Z key/Button 1: Shot
- X key/Button 2: Bomb
Scoring
Scoring consists of destroying enemies with the homming shots to increase the multiplier (on the top left). To keep the multiplier active, the player must keep destroying enemies and continiously shoot at heavy enemies.
Ships
- CCX-04 (Storm Caliber):
A ship that can has slow speed and a wide shot type.
- CCX-09 (Eliminate Caliber):
A ship that can has fast speed and a forward shot type.
- ASX-1 (Blue Fairy):
An unlockable ship that can fire shots and missiles.
- ASX-2 (Red Pixy):
An unlockable ship that has options that tilt left and right.
Items
| Stars: They appear from certain item carriers. If item carriers that have stars are destroyed with the multiplier active, the stars will be multiplied. However, stars from cancelled bullets via bombing are not affected by the multiplier | |
| Bomb: Adds an extra bomb stock. | |
| Shield: Adds a shield that can take up to 3 hits. If having 1 or 2 shield damages, picking this item will only recover one shield level. |
Trivia

- The intro pattern of the TLB was later used for the intro pattern of Revolgear in Graze Counter.
- The final pattern of the TLB is a reference to Hibachi´s Thousand Stingers pattern from DoDonPachi 1997.
- The shot type of ASX-2 Red Pixy is a reference to Type-B from DoDonPachi.
