Vanguard is a 1981 scrolling shooter developed by TOSE and published by SNK in arcades in Japan, then Germany, in 1981. It was licensed to Centuri for manufacture in North America in October 1981 and to Zaccaria in Italy the same year. Cinematronics converted the game to cocktail arcade cabinets in North America.
The player flies a ship through forced-scrolling tunnels with sections that move horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, to reach a boss at the end. The ship is controlled with an 8-way joystick, and it can fire in four directions via four buttons in a diamond arrangement.
