the dreaming boy is a realist chapter 17 raw
Imagine a really basic variation of Galaga. Vanguard (1981, Arcade)
Also appearing on: Atari
2600 (1982), Atari 5200 (1984)
Vanguard is a shoot-'em-up that scrolls both vertically and horizontally. The tunnels you fly through flow left to right, down to up, up to down, and all manner of angles in between. It was a tough shooter, even by old-school standards, but it was made easier by the fact that bullets could cancel out other bullets. This game put SNK on the map in the US. Athena (1986, Arcade)
Also appearing on: Commodore 64 (1987), Nintendo Entertainment System (1987)
Athena is an adventure game with a little bit of everything: side-scrolling action, platform jumping, and role-playing. You spent much of the time collecting weapons and items to enhance your character attributes. People flocked to Athena because of its gorgeous (at the time) manga-style medieval visuals. Ikari Warriors (1986, Arcade)
Also appearing on: Amiga, Atari 2600, Atari 7800, Commodore 64, NES (1986)
If Vanguard put SNK on the map, then Ikari Warriors helped the company buy an island of its own. This character-based shoot-'em-up put you in the role of a
mercenary fighting in an unnamed South American jungle. The screen scrolled as you moved upward, but the joystick let you backtrack and walk or aim at any angle.
