Destroy the enemy and infiltrate the base! “STINGER” is a shooter released by SEIBU KAIHATSU in 1983. Take control of the “STINGER WOLF” and head to the center of an enemy base where evil life forms roam.

In an emergency, you can call on the friendly robot “BONGO” to automatically destroy the enemy.

Interesting historical artifact. It has a vertical screen orientation, but it scrolls horizontally. Kind of a weird perspective too, as the ground makes it look a little like Zaxxon, but movement is flat.
