Battle Shark (World)
Taito Corporation Japan • 1989


Take to the skies in Battle Shark, a fast-paced first-person shooter from Taito Corporation released in Europe in April 1990. As a pilot commanding an advanced attack helicopter, your mission is to navigate treacherous environments and engage enemy forces. The game challenges players with increasingly difficult waves of adversaries while maneuvering through detailed landscapes rendered on Taito Z System hardware. Players control their helicopter’s movement and targeting systems, utilizing weaponry to destroy incoming threats. Battle Shark offers a single-player experience designed for quick bursts of action. It was also released under the same title in Japan and North America. This arcade game has since been included as part of compilation releases on modern platforms like Microsoft Xbox and Sony PlayStation 2 consoles, alongside PC versions for Windows. The European model stands approximately 73 inches high, 43 inches deep, and 27.5 inches wide.
