Argus

Game Details:

Argus was originally released by Jaleco in 1986, and is a typical arcade-style vertical shooting game. Players pilot a fighter jet through various enemy areas, with both aerial and ground enemies in the game, requiring simultaneous attacks on both the top and bottom. Game features include energy upgrades, firepower enhancements, and a rich variety of level BOSSes, smooth controls, and a tight rhythm, making it a popular shooting game in 80s arcades. Modern versions are mostly reproduced by emulators, suitable for nostalgic players to experience the classics.

Editor's Recommendation:

This game is a retro journey for players who like shooting games. Whether it's the dual-track shooting design (air + ground), the upgrade system, or the rhythmic BGM, it all carries the typical 80s arcade charm. For new players, it's easy to get started and has a tight rhythm; for old players, it's a work of nostalgic memories. It is highly recommended to try it in your spare time and feel the passion of the arcade halls back then.

Game Guide:

• Make good use of air-to-ground dual-shot weapons: Both aerial enemies and ground targets can pose a threat; remember not to focus on one direction.
• Prioritize collecting upgrade items: Items are usually dropped by special enemies; quickly enhancing firepower helps to clear enemies faster.
• Pay attention to the rules of enemy appearance: Enemies often refresh in waves; mastering the rhythm makes it easier to pre-arrange your position.
• BOSS battles pay attention to weak point positions: Some BOSSes have obvious attack gaps; concentrating firepower on the core parts can quickly resolve the battle.
• Move flexibly and do not stay in place: Avoid staying on the edge or in the center of the screen for a long time, as it is easy to be surrounded.
• Accumulate health and score: Destroying more enemies can accumulate points to exchange for extra lives, increasing the fault tolerance space.
