#106780 Yamato





Appears as a boss in:

Akkanvader(1995)

Code Number: #106780

Relatives: King Fossil, Grand Octopus, Tough Spring, Yamato


The second area of Akkanvader was a food plant for the invaders ('I'm hungryy...', says your player at this point). One runs into chickens, eggs, surprisingly porcine invaders with a very food-themed background (for example: plains of steak, burgers and fried eggs, clouds of sugar cubes...) and other enemies (chickens, eggs, vegetables and Pac-Men?). Eventually, stage 11 warns us about '#106780 Yamato'. Hmm. What kind of battleship can they throw at us?

From left to right:The plat du jour.


Tips: Well, well, well, well. Three Darius bosses clubbed into one. You have to dig the little surfing invaders, though. Apart from the seafood platter, most of the vessel on which it lies has to be taken out. This is made up of five parts- the two edges, and three cannons which fire mean lasers. You are given ample warning for them, though. But we're getting a bit ahead. The first attack you bill be probably treated to is a hail of purple Invader-style shots. Then come several little destructible shuriken-looking things in two arcs. Then come the invader swarms: porcine octopi and pig ladies. The lasers start to warm up too.


NOTE:No coelecanths were hurt in the taking of these screenshots


When one of the boat segments are gone, the platter's contents kick in. They cheifly fire two things- nice four-bullet arcs and more random (and copious)bullet attacks. The lasers, if any, keep coming in, as well as the 'shurikens' and the invaders. Attack the seafood in any order you want; the attacks don't seem to depend on any one of them. Of course, this will keep you on your toes guaranteed. You have to destroy the seafood for the boss to die. A good moral, though: "You're not going to the beach until you eat up all your Yamato platter!"
