Gondomania, also known in Japan as Makyō Senshi (魔境戦士, Demon Warrior), is a 1987 scrolling shooter arcade video game initially released in Japan by Data East.
Plot
The Gondos, a race of alien beings, steals your significant other and takes them to the planet of thorns. The premise of game is to take down the Gondos though various levels and boss fights. It takes place in a futuristic medieval world and includes dragons and soldiers.
Gameplay
The game was designed for play on a classic arcade console. One button activates the guns, while the other button throws a type of sub-weapon and the joystick allows the player to move in various directions. A rotary joystick allows the player to aim and fire sub-weapons in eight different directions. Similar to other scrolling shooters, Gondomania allows players to progress through ten levels. Enemies in Gondomania drop coins when they are defeated, which allows a player to purchase power-ups. This differs from typical scrolling shooters in that it requires an additional layer of strategy to decide which item to purchase and when as opposed to the typical scrolling shooter where the player receives pre-programmed power-ups.
