Markham[a] is a 1983 horizontally scrolling shooter video game developed and published by Sun Electronics for arcades. It was only released in Japan in December 1983.[1] It was released outside Japan for the first time by Hamster Corporation as part of their Arcade Archives series for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in December 2020.[2]
Gameplay
The player controls a fighter jet which is instructed to destroy research stations in Antarctica. The jet is equipped with ammunition and missiles, which can be combined to defeat enemy objects.[3] Unlike other scrolling shooters, the angle while shooting can be changed by tilting, increasing the complexity of the gameplay while making it easier to shoot enemies moving in erratic ways.[4]
