Chouji Meikyuu Legion (also known as Legion: Spinner-87) is a vertical-scrolling shoot-’em-up released for the arcade by Nichibutsu in 1987. Standing out from the strict memorization-based shooters of its era, it features unpredictable enemy behavior and randomized stage layouts that force you to adapt on the fly.
How to Play
Navigate your ship through waves of incoming fire while rescuing soldiers for bonus points. The game’s defining mechanic is the “Time Bomb”âa special weapon that temporarily stops time and reverses enemy movements, allowing you to escape tight corners. In your browser, insert coins with Shift, start with Enter, move using the arrow keys, and use Z and X for your primary fire and Time Bombs.
Tips
Because enemy spawns are unpredictable, stay near the lower-middle of the screen to give yourself maximum reaction time. Don’t hoard your Time Bombs; use them proactively the moment you feel overwhelmed rather than trying to perfectly dodge a dense pattern.
