Summary 08513: buckrog and clones: Sprite priorities are incorrect
Description Here's a link to VirtuaIceMan's thread who reported the bug: https://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Number=395133&page=0&view=expanded&sb=5&o=&fpart=1&vc=1

That gives most of the details so I won't bother repeating them here. I'll add that that the easiest way to see the bug is viewing the demo mode and watching for enemy ship shadows which will appear above the player sprite.
Steps To Reproduce
Additional Information The bug may have been introduced in the last major video overhaul way back in 0.108u2: https://github.com/mamedev/historic-mame/commit/094f98a35a400bea3b2bf3f09d0246549a61c9e8#diff-c7e4daa27350034b59b65cc577458ec46e28e298fed7c6a28b8bb35d54809e79

When fighting the boss ship your ship is completely obscured to the point where you can't tell where you're shooting at all. I'd say this qualifies as "disturbs the gameplay in a significant manner", whence severity bumped up to "Major".

I played the parent and all clones. Every priority issue mentioned in the mameworld thread and any others that I had noticed (shadows, explosions, etc) look good to me now. Nice work!
