Arcadia (NMK)

Arcadia is a fixed shooter that originally appeared on home computers like the ZX Spectrum and VIC-20 back in 1982, published by Imagine Software. This version, carrying the NMK label, seems to be an arcade port of that early title, offering the same core experience on a cabinet. It's a straightforward, no-nonsense shooter from the dawn of the genre, before things got complicated.

The player controls a ship that can only move left and right along the bottom of the screen. Enemies descend from above in patterns, and your goal is to shoot them all before they reach you or your base. There is no scrolling or vertical movement - just aim, dodge, and fire. Points accumulate, and difficulty ramps up as waves get tougher.

This isn't a flashy or deep game, but it's a neat piece of history for anyone curious about where fixed shooters began. If you enjoy early arcade-style action and want to see a home computer classic adapted to the arcade, this one is worth a quick play. It's simple, honest, and a reminder of how much fun you can have with just one button and a joystick.
