In the Hunt
This game, known in Japan as "Kaitei Daisensou", is a 6-level, 1- or
2-player
shoot 'em up in which the player takes control of a submarine.
In The Hunt is a superb game, created by the team behind the legendary
R-Type series. The superbly-rendered graphics
are very similar in style to Irem's
R-Type Leo, released a year earlier.
In The Hunt would prove to be Irem's last 'traditional' arcade
shoot'em up, although 2 further R-Type sequels were released for home
consoles. (arcade-history)
Some of the developers of In the Hunt later went to SNK and helped create the Metal Slug series. There are notable similarities in both gameplay and graphic style.
