Rohga Armor Force aka Wolf Fang (Arcade/Data East/1991) [720p]

Wolf Fang: Kuhga 2001 (ウルフファング 空牙2001?), released outside of Japan as Rohga: Armor Force, is a 1991 run and gun/platform hybrid arcade game developed and published by Data East. It is related to Kuhga and was itself followed by Skull Fang: Kuhga Gaiden. Two years have passed since the military occupation of New York City in 1999 and since then Ragnarok (aka: DAGGER) - the organization responsible for the events - have disappeared following their air borne destruction. During that time, mech technology has been the boom of future military projects worldwide with the biggest factories residing in Oceania. These mechs become the main target of Ragnarok when it resurfaces and claims the military factories and cities of Australia and New Zealand. Their plan is to apparently use any and all of the deadliest mechs that have not yet reached completion to their chaotic liking. The USAF and RAAF organize a strike force to reclaim major attacked points in the two countries with the assistance of the best mech operators they can find. Players then assume the role of mech-fighters who aim to liberate Australia or, depending on the player's actions, New Zealand. Wolf Fang is an unusual scrolling horizontal shooter; because the players control a mech, the players can hover against slanted walls in the back ground and occasionally land on higher platforms. Players are set with controls similar to a platformer as they face whichever horizontal direction they choose, can duck, aim their gun upwards by a 45 degree angle and jump. Players can also move and aim their gun in different directions by holding a certain button down. Players start along the shores of Australia and proceed to Sydney before being allowed to choose where to go from there. If players continue to explore Australia, then they will have a variety of places to choose from while if they pick New Zealand then they will have even more, different levels to choose from with different settings. Rohga Armor Force (also known as Wolf Fang) is a very long, horizontal shoot'em up developed by Data East in 1991 for the Arcades. Game takes over 1 hour to complete it, it's a very fun game during first few stages, but the enemies and bosses tend to repeat through the stages and a very similar. You can construct your unit at the beginning of the game or choose one of four predesigned schemes.
