Sky Base
天空基地
Sky Base is an action arcade game developed by Omori Electric Co., Ltd. in 1982. Players control a character defending a sky base against incoming enemies and projectiles. The game features simple directional controls for movement and firing. Enemies descend in waves across multiple levels of increasing difficulty. Players must position themselves strategically to intercept threats while avoiding enemy fire. The level structure consists of progressively challenging waves, with enemies becoming faster and more numerous as play continues. The game emphasizes quick reflexes and spatial awareness in a vertically-scrolling action format typical of early 1980s arcade releases.
