Demon Front / Moyu Zhanxian (68k label V105, ROM M105XX 08/05/02) (ARM label V105, ROM 08/05/02 S105XX)

Twenty years from Earth, on the planet Andres, a strange solar event has unleashed monstrous mutations and plunged the world into chaos. In Demon Front, up to four players take on the roles of Jake, Sara, Dr. J, and Maya – survivors determined to fight back against the mutated hordes. This fast-paced platform shooter blends action with strategic elements as you navigate six stages, choosing your order through the first three, battling increasingly challenging bosses along the way. Each character possesses a unique animal companion that hovers nearby, offering both offensive support and defensive capabilities; Jake commands a fiery dragon, Sara utilizes a freezing rabbit, Dr. J deploys an electric robot, and Maya wields a wind-generating pterodactyl. Players begin with a standard pistol but can acquire powerful weapons like machine guns and freezing devices—though these are limited in ammunition. A dedicated shield button provides temporary protection, while close-quarters combat restores health for your pet companion. Demon Front runs on IGS's PGM hardware, delivering vibrant 448x224 pixel visuals with a refresh rate of 60Hz. Controlling your character is straightforward using an eight-way joystick and three buttons dedicated to shooting, jumping, and deploying the protective shield.
