Talbot
Talbot is an arcade action game released in 1982, developed by Alpha Denshi Co. under a Volt Electronics license. Players control a character navigating stages filled with enemies, using combat moves to defeat opponents and progress through the game's levels. The action takes place across multiple stages with increasing difficulty, requiring players to manage their positioning and attacks carefully against varied enemy types. As an early 1980s arcade title, Talbot features the straightforward stage-based structure typical of the era, where surviving waves of enemies and advancing through screens forms the core gameplay loop. Controls are handled via joystick and action buttons standard to arcade cabinets of the period.
