Raccoon World
浣熊世界
Raccoon World is an arcade action game developed by Eolith and released in 1998. Players control a raccoon character navigating through stages filled with enemies, using attacks to defeat foes and progress through each level. The game follows a straightforward action format typical of arcade titles from that era, where players must battle through waves of enemies across multiple stages. Controls involve movement and combat inputs standard to the arcade format, allowing players to punch or attack enemies encountered throughout the game. The arcade setting means each stage builds in difficulty, challenging players to survive long enough to advance. Eolith, a Korean developer, produced this colorful and accessible action game aimed at arcade audiences of the late 1990s.
