''For the 2007 MMORPG, see Vanguard: Saga of Heroes'' is a 1981 arcade game developed by TOSE,〔 and published by SNK in Japan in 1981〔(Japanese arcade flyer at The Arcade Flyer Archive ) Retrieved on 2009-03-18〕 and later during the same year in Germany by the same publisher,〔(German arcade flyer at The Arcade Flyer Archive ) Retrieved on 2009-03-18〕 while it was licensed to Centuri for manufacture in North America in October 1981〔(North American arcade flyer at The Arcade Flyer Archive ) Retrieved on 2009-03-18〕 and by Zaccaria in Italy during the same year,〔(Italian arcade flyer at The Arcade Flyer Archive ) Retrieved on 2009-03-18〕 putting SNK on the map in those regions. The game was also licensed to Cinematronics for conversion to cocktail arcade cabinets in North America.〔(North American arcade flyer for the cocktail version at The Arcade Flyer Archive ) Retrieved on 2009-03-18〕 The game is one of the first scrolling shooters with scrolling in multiple directions. It is also the first color game released by SNK and an early example of a dual-control game, similar to the later ''Robotron: 2084'', but using four directional buttons rather than a second joystick.〔Matt Barton & Bill Loguidice, (The History of Robotron: 2084 - Running Away While Defending Humanoids ), Gamasutra〕 ''Vanguard'' was followed up by a less successful sequel, ''Vanguard II'', which has gameplay similar to ''Xevious'' with the ability to fly in multiple directions. There were no home console nor computer ports of ''Vanguard II'' released until ''SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 0'' for the Sony PlayStation Portable. ==Plot== The Gond has been terrorizing nearby space colonies with its periodic raids of destruction. The time has come to put an end to his reign of terror. The player has been selected to pilot an advanced fighter ship with high offensive capabilities, and must enter the cave inside the asteroid where the Gond makes his home, and safely fly through every zone; the Mountain Zone, Rainbow Zone, Styx Zone, Stripe Zone, Bleak Zone, and the City of Mystery (aka Last Zone) where the Gond is rumored to reside. The player must take the Gond out, and succeed in the mission. If unsuccessful, the colonies will be doomed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vanguard (video game)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
