Time Soldiers (US Rev 3)

Time Soldiers is a cooperative shooter released in 1987 by Alpha Denshi Co., licensed to Romstar for distribution in the United States. Players control soldiers navigating side-scrolling environments filled with enemy robots and obstacles. The gameplay combines elements of walking and shooting, requiring precise movement and timing to avoid damage while eliminating threats. It’s a two-player game intended as an export release from Japan, based on an earlier title known as "Battle Field." The high score table features entries like “M.I.” and “OK .”, indicating player names recorded over time in arcades featuring the game. Later ports of Time Soldiers appeared on various platforms including the Sega Master System, Commodore C64, and PlayStation 3 and PSP as part of a mini-game collection. The original Japanese version offers further insight into the game’s development. Successfully clearing levels earns players points added to their score which is then displayed in the high score table.
