Unsure. I did remember that one specific instance was the Chenjesu ship in Star Control 2. Their main gun fires like I described and when you let go of the Fire key the projectile explodes into circle of shrapnel that damages the enemy. but the rabbit hole goes deeper because I specifically remember my brother being amazed at how good I was at aiming and timing the thing, and said it's likely from all that experience playing ... and that name escapes me HAHAHA. So I'm gonna look into the original of Submarine Attack and see if that was it. So far back and a ton of games all blur together in my memory. If it was something on the C64 then it likely had one-button control so I'm gonna look there too.
Hmmm...I was really curious about the game you were describing and went on a Google hunt for it! Could it possibly be called "Submarine Attack"? Thanks for the encouraging comment!

oh man this made me remember some old game but I can't put my finger on it. pretty sure it was side-scrolling and would've been from the pre-3D boom. You fired a missile and it didn't blow up until you released the fire button, so you'd try to get as many enemies as you could and it was super fun. I wanna say something with submarines. or maybe boats? I remember it was easy to over-shoot faster enemies. Anyway, looking forward to this. Good work. Great overall aesthetic too.
