Enforce (1988)
By Taito
[Source: https://youtu.be/Hejv3NkWw7E]

Gif from "Enforce" (gameplay, 2D pixel graphics, first-person perspective). The player drives a tank at moderate speed along an urban landscape while shooting at bipedal mecha. The tank has two large weapons, each protruding from opposite sides of the screen (the left weapon is a laser cannon, the right weapon is a gatling gun). The player rams two of the mecha with the tank, destroying them.
Gif from "Enforce" (attract mode, 2D pixel graphics, first-person perspective). The "Enforce" logo appears in stylized against a dark background. The screen then shows a detailed schematic of the player's tank, which has a slightly-silly-looking vertical orientation, with tank treads on the bottom used for locomotion. On opposite sides of the tank are its two weapons- a laser cannon on the left, a gatling gun on the right.

Taitō Still Lifes (Part 2)

Taitō (台東区, Taitō-ku) is Tokyo’s smallest ward, yet it contains a lot of history, boasting major tourist magnets such as Asakusa's Sensō-ji Temple, Ueno Park, or the Ameyoko street market. But walk on any of its side streets, and you will discover homely and surprisingly quiet neighborhoods with quirky and photogenic details.

Oh no! Here comes Tokio! (www.timeextension.com)

Coming soon to a Nintendo Switch or PS4 near you, whether you like it or not! It's the Taito arcade title Tokio, a decidedly lackluster shoot 'em up from 1986. Tokio plays like a halfway point between Capcom's 1942 and Nichibutsu's Terra Cresta, with your biplane flying over the Japanese cityscape, blasting formations of stealth...

@OutofPrintArchive bust-a-move was such a timeless game. Introduced in 1994 [fixed typo], it was still relevant in 1998 when it launched on Nintendo 64 (and playstation etc). Still a great game to this day, no matter the platform.

It even was ported to the Texas Instrument Avigo. I did the levels design and did the music for it.

Gun Fight (1975)
By Midway
[🧵 1/19]

[Footage: https://youtu.be/gRwwN1N5KSA?si=ANQYVQrwkqJuY4IG}

Gif of gameplay from "Gun Fight". The game is monochromatic, with everything in a yellow-ish color against a dark background. Two cowboys shoot at each other in a sparse desert landscape until one hits the other. The struck cowboy slumps over and the text "Got me!" appears above them.

[🧵 9/19] The most obvious different are the graphics- instead of controlling tall, lanky cowboys, you instead commandeer adorable chibi-ified gunslingers. More significantly, however, Western Gun allows players to move freely around the field, and thus shoot in all directions. This fact alone makes it (possibly) the first twin-stick shooter ever created! It’s also (as far as I know) the first game to feature human-on-human violence (just a hop, skip, and a jump from this to Mortal Kombat!).

👾​ Retro gamers, here are a couple of classic titles you may know. The Simpsons Bart VS. The Space Mutants and Toki.

First, Toki was very challenging for a little kid, but it was one of my favorite games in my collection. It provided that challenge but without being impossible to play.

Simpsons Bart vs. the Space Mutants was just a game that all my friends gravitated towards since it was of a character everyone knows. I never really got into this game, but my friends did.
