Tomahawk 777 (rev 5)

Data East’s Tomahawk 777 challenges players to defend against incoming missile strikes in this vertical shooter released in 1980. Two players cooperate as pilots maneuvering a defensive system, using a single shoot button and four-way joystick control to intercept waves of approaching projectiles. The game displays its action on a 240x240 pixel screen with a palette of thirty-two colors, creating a visually distinct experience. Players must carefully time their shots to destroy the missiles before they reach their target; accurately destroying incoming threats is key to survival. Tomahawk 777 utilizes an MOS Technology M6502 processor and refresh rate of sixty hertz, providing a responsive feel as players work together. The game was also distributed under the name "Tomahawk Missile" by ESI.
