Safari
狩猎
Safari is a 1977 arcade action game developed by Gremlin. Players control a hunter navigating a side-scrolling environment filled with animals. The objective is to shoot approaching wildlife before they reach and overrun the player's position. Animals move across the screen at varying speeds, requiring quick reflexes and accurate shooting to survive. The game uses a fixed shooter format where the player must pick off targets as they close in. Different animals may move at different rates, adding variety to the challenge. Controls are straightforward, involving aiming and firing at oncoming creatures. Safari operates on a single-screen or scrolling format with escalating difficulty as the game progresses, increasing the pace and frequency of animal encounters to test the player's reaction time.
