Argus

Argus is a vertical scrolling shooter for the NES, operating within the conventions of its genre. Players control a ship that advances upward through levels, facing opposition from enemy forces that fire projectiles. The gameplay is challenging, requiring the player to navigate around or destroy environmental obstacles like buildings while managing incoming fire.

The player's arsenal includes separate weapons for targeting airborne and ground based foes. Progression involves defeating waves of standard enemies while seeking out bonus items. Each stage concludes with a confrontation against a large, singular enemy craft that must be destroyed to advance.
