Blazer	Namco	1987	Blazer is an isometric-perspective scrolling shooter for one or two players. Set in a war-torn country, the player controls a tank named "Vanguard" and a helicopter named "Handy" alternately. Goal is to get to the top of the screen while killing enemies both on land and in the air. At the bottom of the screen a fuel-meter is shown that slowly depletes to zero and a life is lost. Therefore it is wise to carefully shoot and collect fuel canisters that are scattered throughout the scenery. When some air-based enemies are hit by Vanguard's anti-aircraft missiles, they leave behind a power-up which will either restore some of its fuel or make it invulnerable for a short period of time. In some missions special gates can be found. If Vanguard passes through a gate marked "T2" it upgrades to a tank that can shoot in four directions simultaneously; a gate marked "T3" gives Vanguard an enormous cannon that can shoot enormous shots at enemies. There are 10 missions, with in the final mission the player controlling an airboat called "Maiboto". [Moby Games]*** [57]	Arcade

Splatterhouse	Namco;Tecmo;Sharp	1988	[49]* [69]*Splatterhouse is a straightforward side-scroller with the premise being that you (Rick, I think your name is) have been possessed by the spirit of an ancient (Mayan, maybe?) mask that will give you the strength to defeat various forces of darkness and rescue your (of course helpless) female counterpart from the "Splatterhouse." What makes this game interesting is the fantastic quality of ambience it manages to create, with excellent sound and graphics creating a truly scary arcade game. Only Uninvited and Silent Hill match Splatterhouse for creepiness. It also has some choice of paths to take, which adds replayability. A fun game with inventive enemies and ways to splatter them.
