Ikari Warriors (US JAMMA)
SNK's answer to Capcom's 'Commando', released a year earlier, one or two players take on the role of a "Rambo-esque" soldier as they fight on land and water to reach the village of Ikari. most of the action takes place on foot, although players will occasionally stumble across unoccupied enemy tanks which can be entered and driven. Standing between the players and their destination are a multitude of enemy soldiers, tanks, helicopters and static gun emplacements.
Each different enemy soldier-type is equipped with a different weapon, such as a semi-automatic machine gun, automatic machine gun, grenades, and super grenades. To assist the players in their struggle, a number of power-ups can be picked up, such as extended shot range and hand-grenades. As the players' munitions are deletable, additional ammo/grenades must to be picked up along the way. players can also enter tanks, which offer increased firepower as well as resistance to enemy shots. Too many enemy hits, however, will eventually see the tank explode - this is proceeded by a warning flash to allow the player to leave the tank before the explosion takes place. Should the player be caught inside when the tank explodes, a life is lost.
Unlike Capcom's 'Commando', Ikari Warriors features 360 degree gameplay, as a result of this the home conversions could never hope to match the arcade machine's rotary joystick controls.

Tips on Ikari Warriors (US JAMMA)
* When driving a tank, try to avoid upgrading from cannonballs to missiles. Cannonballs explode as supergrenades, making it easier to hit gates and squadrons of men. Missiles, unfortunately, only take out one obstacle and will explode upon reaching their maximum range, which is rarely where you'd like the explosions to be.
* There are times when incoming missile triggers are impossible to avoid in the tank. A bug in the machine maximizes the number of explosions that can be onscreen at one time. When you MUST run over a trigger, fire off three shots rapidly timed to explode when the missile lands. With luck, the computer will be unable to generate the explosion and you and your tank can continue.

- 29th January 2012: Mr. Do - Tapule did a real nice cleanup on the artwork for Ikari Warriors; bezel has been replaced, and marquee and control panel added (all scans originally from the BYOAC / CAG artwork).
- 0.127u7: Stephane Humbert checked inputs and dipswitches via Z80 code analysis for Ikari Warriors and clones. Changed description of clone 'Ikari (Japan)' to 'Ikari (Japan No Continues)'.
- 0.127u4: Nicola Salmoria fixed clones Ikari (Japan) and Ikari (Joystick hack bootleg), test screen now required to be cycled to enter game.

- 0.127u1: Corrado Tomaselli added clone Ikari Warriors (US). SNK rewrite [Nicola Salmoria]: Fixed sprite-sprite priorities. Removed ROM patches, simulated "hard flags" behaviour, oroper memory maps, fixed color test in clone (Japan). fixed inputs and added DIP locations etc. Removed NO_COCKTAIL flag since the game don't have a flip screen dipswitch.
