As you progress in levels, the green hexagonal enemy space stations begin to shoot missiles from their cores. ![]() During flight, you must avoid stationary asteroids and mines. is some game play info courtesy of KLOV : This game is similar to Time Pilot and Sinistar in that your ship stays in the center of the screen. The monitor has a great picture on it and everything works exactly as it should. The marquee rails have been striped and repainted as well. The coin door has been striped and repainted. As you can tell from the PICs I included the game is in real nice shape. But instead of just staying at the bottom of the screen like in Galaga, you get to fly through space to shoot the enemy in this one. Some of the gameplay is similar to Galaga as a matter of fact. It was made by Midway in 1981 and came out right before Galaga. This auction is for a nice full size upright Bosconian. As a lowly teenager, I spent most of my time angsting and playing video games, but as a lowly poor person, there were times when video games were hard to come by.BOSCONIAN I'm putting a few games out of my personnal collection up for auction this week. For a slight cross section of those two circumstances there wasn't even a console in my life, there was a mere joystick. That joystick housed five classic Namco games. Look past those everyday classics that sell the joystick to impulse buyers. Bosconian was the filler that padded out the "5 games in 1!" roster. Anyone that has bought a classic games compilation knows that there are a few great classics, but more often than not, many of the games are forgotten also ran titles that are tossed in to bulk up the list of games.įor filler, Bosconian is a surprisingly inventive take on the burgeoning shoot-em-up genre. Of course, back in those days we called them shooters, until you kids usurped that moniker for your CoDs and your GoWs. Now there are first-person shooters, third-person shooters, shmups, arcade shooters, rail shooters.Įven though Bosconian did poorly outside of Japan, it held some impressive innovations for the time. For one, you could move beyond the field of the screen, pretty mind blowing back in 1982. The ship could fly in not just four, but eight directions! Your only weapon, a gun that fires in front and behind you simultaneously, which is actually a damn bit better than even modern shoot-em-ups can be sometimes. The objective is to destroy all the evil space stations junking up space. ![]() You can do this by either attacking the six gun-pods surrounding each station, or throw caution to the wind and dive straight towards the weak point Independence Day style and destroy the entire space station in one attack. Here in lies the addictive strategy of the game. You can safely float about space, carefully picking off space stations, but that attracts more space fighters towards you. My goal when playing was to blast away a space station with one well placed bullet before zooming off to the next one. While you're doing your best to single-handedly save Earth, the Bosconians have a slightly better tactical strategy of using a lot more than one spacefighter to keep you from achieving that goal. Shmups have always baffled me as far as sending one ship to stop an intergalactic army goes. There are actually some shoot-em-ups that have gone through some pain to explain this.
