Devastators (ver. Z)
Konami • 1988
Also known as: Garuka


Konami’s Devastators, released in 1988, is a two-player shooter presented from a third-person perspective. Players control vehicles tasked with battling through waves of enemies and clearing out hostile bases. This version, labeled "Z," represents one of several software revisions made to the game over time, building upon earlier iterations such as versions V and X. The game’s cabinet artwork was designed by Don Marshall. As players navigate the onscreen action, they must manage their vehicle's weaponry while dodging enemy fire and projectiles. Cooperative play is essential for success against the increasingly challenging opposition encountered throughout the levels. Devastators appears to be an export version of a previously released Japanese title known as Garuka. Further details about the game’s mechanics and storyline can likely be found by researching the original Japanese release. The game debuted in September of 1988, bringing Konami's shooting action to arcades worldwide.
