Syougi No Tatsujin - Master of Syougi
将棋达人
Syougi No Tatsujin - Master of Syougi is a 1995 arcade shooter developed by ADK and SNK. Despite its name referencing the traditional Japanese board game shogi, this is an action shooter in which players pilot a craft and fight through waves of enemies. Supporting two-player simultaneous play, the game places both players against progressively challenging enemy formations across multiple stages. Players use a joystick and buttons to maneuver and fire, dodging incoming projectiles while clearing each stage of threats. The combination of ADK's development experience with SNK's arcade hardware gives the game a characteristic look and feel typical of mid-1990s arcade shooters, with fast-paced combat and screen-filling enemy encounters.
