Bio Attack is an action arcade game released by Taito Corporation in 1983. Players control a ship or craft navigating through stages filled with biological or cellular enemies, shooting them down to progress. The game follows a straightforward shoot-and-survive structure typical of early 1980s arcade titles, requiring players to eliminate waves of enemies while avoiding contact with hostile entities. Controls involve directional movement and a fire button to dispatch enemies. Stages increase in difficulty as more aggressive enemy patterns emerge. The game fits within the fixed or scrolling shooter genre that Taito cultivated during this era, offering fast-paced gameplay designed to challenge players and consume arcade credits through escalating difficulty.
