More details on the SEGA titles coming to iiRcade:
Shadow Dancer: A side-scrolling arcade action game from 1989, it's the second and the final arcade game in the Shinobi series, following the original Shinobi itself. The Player controls a ninja aided by an attack dog, who is fighting to save the city from a terrorist organization.
Space Harrier: Released in 1985, this rail shooter is a fast-paced game played in a third-person perspective behind the protagonist. The game is set in a surreal world composed of brightly colored landscapes adorned with checkerboard-style grounds and stationary objects such as trees or stone pillars.
Cyber Police ESWAT: Players take control of Duke Oda, a member of the Liberty City Cyber Police Force, in this 1989 scrolling shooter arcade game. Players are tasked with finding and arresting the city's most wanted criminals, and eventually dismantling a terrorist organization planning world domination.
Congo Bongo: A isometric platform arcade game from 1983, the player takes the role of a red-nosed safari hunter who tries to catch an ape named Bongo. The hunter seeks Bongo to exact revenge for an apparent practical joke in which Bongo set fire to the hunter's tent, giving him a literal "hot foot."
Alien Storm: A side-scrolling beat 'em up shooter arcade game released in 1990. The player selects from the three different playable characters (a man, a woman, and a novelty character) to embark upon a quest to save the Earth from an alien invasion.
Crack Down: A 1989 run and gun arcade game. Using a top-down perspective, the player controls either Ben or Andy, a pair of agents charged with stopping mad scientist Mr. X from taking over the world. As they make their way through several timed levels, planting bombs and destroying cyborg enemies using guns and smart bombs, the goal of each stage is to plant all of the bombs and escape before their collective timer goes off.
Bonanza Bros.: A 3D-style, 2D shooter arcade game from 1990 where players take the role of one, or both, of the brothers Robo (1P, red) and Mobo (2P, blue). The object of the game is to travel stealthily around each building while avoiding guards, retrieve several objects within a time limit, and move to the roof where a blimp is expecting the player with the loot.
