    Overview

    No Caption Provided

    Senjyo is a sci-fi fixed-turret shooter game developed and released by Tehkan for arcades in 1983.

    In Senjyo, players take control of a fixed turret with twin laser guns as they dodge enemy attacks and shoot enemy threats. Players can pivot the turret left-and-right in a 360-degree playfield (with a unique parallax scrolling effect), can move the crosshair up and down to aim, and use a button to fire from the guns.

    The objective of each round is to destroy 32 "Space Tanks", which are marked on the radar, lob flaming shots at the turret (which can be shot down or dodged), tend to hide behind hills, and can be deadly accurate once they are close-ranged. Other enemies to shoot down include "Spotters", which grant a score multiplier when destroyed, a "Raider" missile that rushes towards the turret, and an "Eliminator" that clears the screen of all Space Tanks when destroyed.

    The game received a home port in 1984, released by Sony in Japan for MSX computers. The original game was also later included in the Xbox compilation Tecmo Classic Arcade and was digitally re-released for the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch, both as part of HAMSTER's Arcade Archives series, on January 12, 2023.
