Screenshots1 / 2

The D-Day arcade title screen displays red text reading "D-DAY" centered against a cyan sky with white clouds. Below sits a blue water band, followed by a yellow sandy beach with green trees and vegetation silhouettes. A black military bunker structure occupies the lower center. Score information and game text appear in red at the top and bottom edges. The sprite-based graphics use a limited pixel art palette typical of early-1980s arcade hardware.

D-Day is an action arcade game developed by Jaleco in 1984. Players control a soldier navigating through enemy-occupied beaches in a top-down perspective, shooting at advancing enemy troops and avoiding obstacles. The game features directional movement and fire controls, allowing players to move across the screen while engaging hostile forces. Levels progress through different beach scenarios with increasing difficulty and enemy patterns. The objective is to survive waves of enemies and reach the end of each stage. D-Day combines run-and-gun action with strategic positioning as players manage ammunition and dodge incoming fire.
