Super Stingray (Japan)

Navigate war zones in Super Stingray, an action shooter from Alpha Denshi released in 1986. Two players control tanks as they maneuver across a battlefield presented from a top-down perspective, tasked with eliminating enemy forces and ultimately destroying an imposing fortress. Strategic positioning is key to success as you advance through the levels, confronting increasingly challenging opposition. The game features twin-player cooperative gameplay, allowing for simultaneous action on screen. Players utilize eight-way joysticks for precise tank control and two buttons for firing weaponry. The robust sound hardware delivers a dynamic audio experience driven by three YM2203 chips and a DAC. A unique touch within Super Stingray is the high score table, populated with characters from manga and anime created by Rumiko Takahashi, specifically drawing from her works Urusei Yatsura and Maison Ikkoku.
