About this game

Alpha Mission, known as ASO: Armored Scrum Object in Japan, is a 1985 vertically scrolling shooter video game developed and published by SNK for Japanese arcades; it was released by Tradewest in North America. It was later ported to the Famicom in 1986 and released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1987.

Alpha Mission was developed by SNK and G1M2 for the Famicom and Nintendo Entertainment System after success as an Arcade installation. It is a vertical scrolling shooter that has similarities to Xevious, with the use of air-to-air and air-to-ground weapons.
