19YY

Don't let the shortname fool you: this isn't Capcom's 19XX: The War Against Destiny for CPS-2, but a fan-made version that runs on Neo Geo MVS hardware, apparently built from ADK World music and assets. There's no reliable data on authorship, origin year, or an actual commercial release behind this piece. Today it's mostly found as a curiosity among Neo Geo board rarity collectors, rather than as a title with its own place in the official history of the vertical shooter.
