About The Game
MOON PATROL is a side-scrolling action-shooting game released by IREM in 1982.
Control a lunar rover as you jump to avoid obstacles, and move forward while defeating enemies that shoot missiles from above or rockets towards you. The goal is to make it through the Beginner Course and Champion Course.
The Arcade Archives series has faithfully reproduced many classic arcade masterpieces. Players can change various game settings such as game difficulty, and also reproduce the atmosphere of arcade display settings at that time. Players can also compete against each other from all over the world with their high scores*.
Please enjoy the masterpieces that built a generation of video games.
